I did the install of all the LED bulbs in the last couple of days. Several technical difficulties that I encountered:

1. I burnt a 10A fuse when I replace the glove box light, which caused the A/C and trunk light to not work on top of the glove box light

2. The 6LED plate from Bavarian Auto does not fit the trunk light housing. The 42mm 12 LED matrix from v-leds.com is too small to fit right. I'm ordering a 3rd bulb for test fitting.

3. The 9 LED SMT tower for the driver side footwell and both under door fit a little tighter in the housing. I guess I have to trim a plastic piece inside the housing to make it fit perfect.

4. The two Luxer 1 24LED from Bavarian Auto that I purchased went into the overhead center console lights after flipping the polarity of the cables around multiple. Apparently, they randomly solder the cable on to the circuit board, so sometimes the polarity is swapped......

Pics to follow this weekend. Waiting to get my License Plate LED Housing and PIAA Map / Reading light LED bulbs

OP quick question, some users were saying when they changed their filament bulbs to LED than the fading of the lights would not work. instead it just goes from on to off instead of the gradual dimming effect. Have you experienced this with your LEDs by any chance?

[Shinchan]

my setup fade properly..... Kev.. i am interest to see if the PIAA MAP LED setup works or not...

[Kev]

I'll let you know when I get them. It's enroute to Boston by EMS along with a bunch of other crap that my wife ordered from Japan.

I have finished swapping out most of the interior bulbs for LEDs in my E90. Here's what I used for my setup:

1. Front & Rear Center Dome Light

Luxer 1 LED24



2. Driver / Passenger Foot Wells & Under Door

2 White SMT 9 LED Parking Light Bulbs

Where'd you find them?

[Kev]

Did a quick comparison today between the 194 flank LED versus 194 SMT Tower for under the door application. The SMT Tower wins hands down!

[Kev]

Also did the PIAA map / reading lights. They are almost useless and produce little to no light at all under regular lighting indoor lighting condition. I'll test it out in a darker area later.

Kev,
Any updates and have the LEDs been problem free?

[Kev]

Mini Update.

Replace the PIAA LED room / map lights with the Bellof Sirius Revo LED bulbs. They are much bright and do produce usable light output. Highly recommended.

[jermc68]

Where'd you get those bulbs? I only thought Sirius did music!

Still no errors on the other bulbs though?

[Kev]

All the bulbs are still error free. I have all interior LEDs + front, side, and rear turn signals, not a single error code.

The Bellof Sirius Revo is only available in Japan at the moment so I have to use a shopping service in Japan to get them.

hmm what about for E92 the side ambience lighting near interior of door? Above armrest section.

Kind of wierd if eveything except that part is white.

Do you mean number 2 instead of 5? #2 you need one order for under the doors and one order for both footwells. #5 you need two orders, one per each vanity mirror

No, it's the light that is above your sun visors.

[GAM3OVR85]

oh...ok. Then which ones are the door handle light??

I'm not exactly sure which one you are referring to as the door handle light.

Do you mean:

1. the white LED light that is underneath the door handles, which lights up when you unlock your doors

or

2. the orange ambient light that is underneath your armrest in the interior

If you are referring t0 #2, then I have no idea, coz I have a sedan and the sedan does not have those interior ambient light. #1 is already white LED so it does not need to be replaced.

For the lights underneath the door (the puddle lights), those are 194. You can modify the housing a little bit to fit the SMT high power tower in there.

[GAM3OVR85]

yeah im taking about #1, its already LED ooohhh ok.
thanks man, i really appreciate it
