Interior LED Light Set

Vijay · Post by **Vijay** » Mon Nov 05, 2018 1:24 pm

Hi
Can anyone share experience of swapping out the interior lights for LEDs?
I’ve read mixed reviews, but then came across thus box set on EBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PREMIUM-BMW- ... 2522960967

Any thoughts?

The description tells you nothing about the bulbs, they could be very dim. I have these fitted everywhere those are meant to fit, cheap and bright. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 2738121227

I’ve ordered the box set. Let’s see what they’re like....

So far so good. That said, anyone know how to take out the central compartment light, seems tricky...

Here's some pics, before & after. Only done drivers footwell as I can get into the passenger side in the garage:

Any chance of a picture of the bulbs?

Sure. Apart from the one for the boot, they all looked like this:

Seeing your picture made me realise I shared the wrong link, I have the exact same bulbs!

Ah
I quite like the idea of getting a coloured led fir the central compartment firm here - https://www.ledperf.co.uk/pack-interior ... -3939.html
If I can figure out how to remove it...

From the photos, they definitely give a clearer, brighter light. Rather then the usual dim glow from the fitted bulbs

Indeed
One can see the difference in the foitwells in the last photo
