LED Turn Signals

Doesn't look like it, amber/white rear, white front. You could always email them and ask though.
Heres a vender that sells cheaper ones, they don't use the CREE LEDs, or have a lifetime warranty, and not sure if resistors are needed, but they have a yellow front option.

Check my earlier post, V-Leds has Awesome rear RED led turn signals.

Also do we need 25w or 50w for turn signals? I found some cheaper crees online elsewhere (I'll post if they work out)

For anyone looking for a cheaper option for the white led signal bulbs, I found these from China and should have them in a few more days. I will be trying them in my TLX once I get it, lol.
Here is the link, could be a good option instead of the pricy ones off the BMW site:

I will let everyone know if they work and don't cause the hyper flash as well.

Anyone tried these for rear turn signals? Supposed to have built in load resistor and CANBUS compatible.

Rear has four light housings - two are running & brake, the other two are running & turn/hazzard. Each of the four light housings has a single LED bulb in it that functions as both the running light & the bright light for stop/turn/hazzard
This has held up as valid for all of the guys in the FFR cars that have tried it.

Something to look into, might or might not work. I have LED stop/tail/turn/hazzard bulbs in the rear of the Cobra. They will do a normal blink without resistors as long as I don't use LEDs in the front turn signals.

To me, the hardest part of the install was carefully getting the tail lights removed since they are on there pretty good due to the clips, a trim/panel remove tool would be recommended. After that, you just need to remove all of the electrical tape on the wiring to find the correct 2 wires inside the trunk to connect the resistor to.

Thanks for the information. I called the vendor (Bimmian) and he said I should replace the original flasher signal relay to an electronic flasher relay instead of adding resistors. I tried to find the relay for that in the car in the manual and I was not able to find it. On some of the newer cars they do not have relays for the signals anymore they may be built into the main computer controller. I even called Acura parts to see if they could find the relay for the signals and they were not able to find it in the parts catalog. Part of the issue may be that the car is still new and no one ordered that part yet. How difficult is it to add the resistors to the front if I were to go that route? Any help would be appreciated and thanks for getting back to me with the information.

Thanks to @wilzrsx for reminding me about VLEDs, I had forgotten about them. To piggyback on his info, I installed some similar equipment:
Front Turn Signal -- iJDMTOY PWY24W (same as PW24W)
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B079QDNHC1/
Rear Turn Signal -- JDM ASTAR High Power GX-3020 SMD 7440
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PWYRF4Z/
Resistors -- VLEDS VLR-6 resistor (installed in trunk only, did not need one for the front)
https://www.vleds.com/vlr-6-duotap-wp-2.html
Only one resistor per side was required to eliminate hyper-flashing, which I installed in the trunk next to the turn signal because that's where there's space to do it, and it's all kept inside, away from the elements, nice and clean. Up front would be a terrible location. The VLEDs resistors are very high-quality and come with high-temp resistant adhesive and real nice T-taps (the best I've seen anywhere). They're much larger and heavier than the typical resistors you see all over the place, with actual heat dissipation fins, so I'm sure they'll dissipate the heat much more efficiently and therefore not get so hot. They were very easy to install. As @18TLXAspec mentioned above, there seems to be no flasher relay to replace any more, so you have to rely on resistors to avoid hyper-flashing.

Update on the above installation: I ended up switching out the rear turn signals because I didn't like the JDM ASTAR. Even though they're these newer, high-tech looking aluminum-body lights, they only have like 13 LEDs. In spite of them being very bright, you can see that the light emanates from a real small surface area, so it just looks like a big bright dot.
I preferred some older Antline 7443s (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HLTGZLV/) because those have 52 LEDs and they fill up the turn signal housing with more evenly distributed light. I had used these before in my 2004 TL and was very happy with their performance over a long period of time. The light output was the same as for the other type.

Thanks. They are both red, but the one that's supposedly more "high tech" had four small LEDs per side, so it could be seen through the lens as a real bright dot, while the other one that I replaced it with, which is an older style, has 52 LEDs so the light is much more spread out and looks nicer in the lens. As you probably know, it's recommended to use the same color bulb as the lens in order to get the best color.
