LED Taillight Bulbs

I have halogen tail lights and wondering if there are any recommended LED tail light bulbs I can get to replace the halogens on my F54. The main one's I want to change are the rear fogs (coded them to brake lights), reverse, and the tail lamp.

I got these for reverse, no error codes. You can check for the other bulbs here as well.

About 5 months. I also bought from the same dealer for my R53 and those were in for at least 4 yrs before one went out.
