LED Courtesy Light

Couldn't find any reviews or specifics on the courtesy lights, but I did find that BMS has the following: http://www.burgertuning.com/BMW_LED_...sy_Lights.html

Does anyone know if the ones from BMS are good, or if there is a better alternative?

I bought these and they work great.he sent me the wrong ones at first and they would go out because of lower voltage but the replacements work great.

Wow, nice find! Not bad to do the whole car for just a couple more 20's. I think I'll look into buying these. How was the install?

Yeah I definitely recommend it. The install for everything took about an hour, the included instructions are decent.

Got my interior LEDs installed: http://ronaldsteelman.com/loki/?album=1&gallery=3

It wasn't horrible, except my garage was an oven and it was pouring down rain outside. The map light bulbs were a bit of a whore to get out due to my big fingers, and that was with latex gloves on to help with grip.

The front dome light fit perfect and went right in. The rear dome gave me some issues, one of the contacts bent so I had to bend it back with my screwdriver, but I finally got it in. It doesn't fit tight like the front one, it kind of wobbled back and forth, but once the cover was back on it seems to be holding it firmly in place.

A few of the others were a bit tricky, but a little work got it right. If you have an N55 engine just note that I think they changed the socket/holder for the foot well on the passenger side. The square board of LEDs wouldn't fit past the holder to reach the socket. I had to gently pry the plastic apart JUST ENOUGH to get the board to slide between them and into the socket. It was a slow process, took about 3-5 minutes, but only because I didn't want to break the plastic by rushing it.

Overall, I am very happy with the install. The car looks so.....fresh is the only word that comes to mind. Never realized how dingy the other lights made it look.

Sorry to hear about the installation troubles; the lights went in pretty easy in my E92, with the exception of the map lights (a pain).

Otherwise, very cool.

The LED lights make a great gift, BTW, if you know anyone with a BMW.
