It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

You'd have to shield the bulb's electronics in foil or electrostatic bags to block EMI... probably impossible to do if they are built into the base of the bulb

It looks like all the electronics are above the base underneath the LEDs. Wish there was a transparent sleeve I could slip the bulb into befoire inserting into the tail light...

In my car, the noise is only generated when I'm in reverse. This, to me, points less to the LED's per se than to something in the car's design.

Well no... if your reverse lights are LED bulbs, then they are aftermarket LED bulbs because the stock bulbs aren't LED for reverse. Your brake lights and turn signals are factory LED, so they're designed properly. That is why you have the issue only when in reverse; those reverse LEDs aren't properly shielded.

I thought this was clear but I'll throw my support behind BP here because I've had it happen on other cars. Don't know that I've checked it on this car.
Capo
Yup. It happens in my buddy's E36. It also happened in my E30, though in that car they also hyperflashed. I also tried the E39 Touring with the same results.

Honest to god I have to stop posting here. Of course!

Negative... you can't learn if you don't ask questions or discuss problems!
