change interior lights to LED?

hi

had my car for a few months now (E90 320d M sport in lemans blue) and am itching to get some mods done - mainly blacklines, lip spoiler, LEDs and may be the grills.

thought id go for the LEDs first as it sounds easy to do. after looking around here i just wanted to find out the best way to change the courtesy door lights and may be the interior footwell lights to white LEDs?

what i should i look for and where can i buy them from? saw lots on ebay but not sure which ones would be suitable and give no errors inside the car.

how easy would it be or cost to change them all to white LEDs - including inside the roof, license plate etc??

any one done this mod - please let me know your thoughts, where to buy etc

thanks

Bollocks to that, blacklines first!

No-one can see your interior lights (unless you go dogging that is...............)

the leds in the bottoms of the doors are great and a worthwhile improvement but inside the car IMO they are too bright

think id be tempted to do just under the doors - think it will be too bright in the car.

what would i need for this? is it a simple swap? where is the best place to get em from?

thanks

You talking about the ones under the door handles? I've got them factory fitted. Did you not?
No one doing the interior ones?

i am talking about the ones under the front doors NOT under the handles (which i do have - standard on m sport i believe). just think they will look better with white LEDs to match the door handles.

If you're looking for just LED replacement lights that goes under the door, we have them available. If you're looking to complete the entire interior to match with, I would recommend the full Euphoria 6k kit.

PM me if you have any Q/concerns

All that shizz is way too bright

What's the price of the whole kit shipped to UK and what is installation like? Where do the lights on the bottom of the door go? Is it just a case of replacing the bulbs.
