Puddle lights

Post by omegabri » Mon Jul 31, 2023 11:19 pm

Hi all

Not even picked up my G29 yet, and I'm blinging it up 🀣🀣🀣
.......Anyone know the BMW order code for "BMW", or "M" symbol puddle lights?

Has anyone fitted any?

I have them on my 5 series, and the look fantastic, but I can't find the Z4 G29 ones πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”

Cheers

Maybe the 'taste police' have banned them? :lol: :poke:

Why anybody would want to light up a puddle is beyond me, anyway! :)
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

🀣🀣🀣 kinda get you there, but it does look good having a BMW badge on the floor, when I open my 5. My mates Jag came already with the Jaguar symbol in the door lights. It does look quite cool....
I could always swap them out, if I don't like it. It's just bugging me that I can't find the official order code πŸ€”πŸ€”

Are they not just opaque transfers that fit over the lenses? If so just measure them and go to the infamous eBay? :)

No. Actual led units - obviously with an imprinted lens.
These, but for the G29 installation.
I'm at BMW on Wednesday. I'll see if their parts department can clarify the code πŸ‘πŸΌ

I had them on one of my E89's and I really liked them. If you have any success at the dealer's could you post up the G29 part number.

Many thanks πŸ‘πŸΌ I'll check with the dealership, tomorrow.
They do look great on my 5. I really would like the Z4 to match πŸ˜‰

I'll be sure to post confirmations.
Dead easy fit on my 5. Slide out the standard units, and unclipped the cables. Connected the cables to new unit, slotted them back. 10 mins job πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌ

They are very useful for the average demographic on the forum....as they remind you what make of car you have! :D

I am old perhaps but still able to remember what car I bought. If not, still able to see the badge without having to enlarge it ten fold (Just) :D

I'd be scared to open the door and Mr Bean to land in the light.
