Full LED interior kit - pics
Finally got the LED interior bulb kit from Bimmian and after helpful tips from X5Dawg, Black E32 & the Bimmian website went about changing all the interior bulbs with Xenon Colored High Power LEDs, takes about 1 hr. Light fittings come out easy so long as you don't rush or apply too much force. Glove box bulb is best done with a small mirror 'cause it's in a really tight spot.

The pics (with nil flash) may seem to show a blue hue however in real life it's very much a white light. I was a bit hesitant at first about doing this as I didn't want to have the inside light up like a football stadium. It does emit slightly more light but is acceptable. In hind sight very happy with them

LOL that's great!

I'm sensing you ran out of things to modify, eh?

I thought about doing this too but was worried about the lights being to bright.

Does this kit come w/ all the bulbs for X5 and do you have to upgrade in relays? Do you have the link?

Cheers,

I got the same kit, tried to install it on a 2008 E70, no luck, the lights start flickering like a (red eye reduction photo flash) I am still working out the issue with Bimmian, the guy's name is Scott he is very helpfull. I want to stick to the high power LED but it is not working, I really do not want to go with the flaky blue painted filament bulb kit. Anybody knows why the LED are flickering...? For whoever is asking the site is Bimmian.com and mine was about $ 135.00 fot the high power LED kit.
