LED Interior Setup

slc35i · 10-29-2007, 10:30 AM

If I were to put together an LED interior direct bulb replacement setup package, would you be interested? I know the exact bulbs required for 2008 e92 and I assume it's the same for MY 2007 (except no need for license plate mod for MY 2008). But if you can provide bulb requirements for e90 and e93, I'll try to get that going too. My goal is to replace the following:

Front/rear dome and reading lights; front/rear footwell lights; trunk; glove box; vanity lights; and under door courtesy lights.

the hardest part is to get the Map light working properly... The only LED that works (i think) for the map light is PIAA>

Shinchan, thanks for your input. I know you're probably one of the few that has spent a lot of time in trying out different bulbs. I'll try the map light and let you know the results.

doba_s · 10-29-2007, 12:33 PM

which one is the map light ? the one in the center or those lights that you can turn on either LT or RT ?

slc35i · 10-29-2007, 12:45 PM

The ones you turn on yourself with the black rings.

The map lights work for the rear center dome lights, but I still have not have the time to try the front.

how are you going to address the issue that some of the housings require slight modifications to accomodate the larger LED bulbs?

They do sell the kit, but they are not led. They are some filament bulbs giving out zenon look light output.

Any more news? I've been looking around for some LED replacements for my 335.

slc35i · 11-20-2007, 09:16 AM

Unfortunately, the shipment on the trial bulbs were delayed. They should arrive within this week (I'm hoping). Once I get them, I'll post some pics and get this going. Believe me, I'm also anxious to replace those bulbs too. :P

But Bimmian does, in addition to the blue-tinted bulbs.

ctgazer has the Bimmian LED interior kit for his E90.

I've tried 3 different map lights. No love. I've settled on the right-angle tab LED, but it does quit after about 30 seconds. Brightness is good.

I used the 12-panel led for the console lights. The right angle tab worked great in the footwells and under dash. Used the 6-panel in the trunk. Didn't do the glove box yet.
