Wow! Full e93 Interior LED Upgrade

Hey guys,

I wanted to tell you about my experience in modding my e93 full interior lighting to LED including the trunk lights.

I purchased my first kit from iJDMTOY. Even though customer service was great LED lights worked as advertised (although visor and rear led's were not included) but they just played havoc with the dome lights (sometimes they would turn on other times they would not). So I decided to return them for a refund of about $80. I would still do business with iJDM, great company.

I then purchased a full kit for the e93 from highperformancebulbs.com. I have to tell you, they are brighter and no coding errors are present. Every single bulb has been upgraded to LED. It looks amazing and they also give you a picture with all bulbs and what fits where as well as full instructions. I remember doing the dome install before which was a bit of a pain but I wish I had had their instructions as it was pretty easy.

All in all love the look and the brightness.

If you have any questions let me know!

Thanks for reading!

Dome light is good. It went off with the iJDMTOY kit but with this if you hit the button it stays on. Tested it quite a bit. My e93 is an '07

I can send you a video. Just not sure where to post it :-) maybe YouTube.

Very nice. We helped develop along with a few E93 members a nice kit. The dome lights are a little different on the e93, luckily you guys have less lights so its cheaper

Yup mine are still going strong haha I keep testing them turning them on and off but they are rock solid and extremely bright. I also purchased the side markers and the white turn signals from HPB since I had such a great experience with the interior LED's. They should be arriving this week :-)

Anyone have any ideas about rear LED's? For the break lights? What do you guys recommend? Does HPB carry these? I think I looked but didn't see any.

Thanks guys! :-)

Sorry if this video is real choppy and fast, I just threw something together real quick to show the Dome Light (with reading lights turned off), Footwell Light, Door Lights and rear Passenger lights.

They are Pure Bright White. I am not a fan of the Blue. Just my personal choice

Hope that helps!
