LEDs for courtesy/dome light?

Atebit · 09-25-2011, 12:44 PM

Has anyone swapped the bulbs for LEDs yet? Any recommendations? I did a search but didn't come up results for any interior LED swaps.

I just yesterday installed the led kit from bimmian.com. Well, not much of real use yet, but they seem to work just fine.

I looked there for the "Ultimate LED Package" but didn't see one for the E89.

Ultimate LED kit (IXB89AUYY).

Five standard light modules (one for trunk, two for doors and two for footwells), three bulb replacements for the dome and one for the glove box.

You could of course get just the bulbs and keep the original light modules, that would be cheaper. I don't know which would be a better option.

You can search for T10 or W5W LED bulbs from ebay
Make sure that u get "canbus" or "error free" LEDs
if you use regular LED, It will light up for a few seconds and stop,
Electronic system in Z4 prevent this continuous use,
