Do these kits include LEDs for the E92 ambient lighting that is on the front door panels and rear seat arm rest area [its like belt line ambient lighting stripes]??

Vanity Mirror lights (both sides) Front and Rear center dome lights Front and Rear Map/Reading lights Glove Box Light Rear footwell lights (both sides) Front footwell lights (both sides) Lights under the door that come on when you open them (both sides) Interior trunk light Since i have a 2008 my car already had LED for the license plate so i have an additional one left over. That was every light i could find in the car. None of the LED's ever threw an error (thank god) just issues with(see below) Every one of them work perfectly, except the front and rear dome & Map/Reading lights, they're all whacked out. When i initially get into my car and start (remaining parked) it i am always able to turn on both the dome and map lights, but you can only leave them on for about 30 seconds then they go off and all the under door LED's, rear footwell LED's & front footwell LED's all turn on. When you go to turn on either the front or rear dome lights, all the floor LED's turn off but the dome lights don't turn on, so there are no LEDs on at this point. The map lights may or may not work at this point either. They may make the floor LED's turn on, or they may work, there is no set pattern to it, the dome lights are the only ones that will never turn back on until you stop and start your car again. Keep in mind this is all while parked because when your driving it reacts differently (a little). (While Driving) Sometimes the dome lights work perfectly and they'll stay on for longer then 30 seconds, on the other hand after 30 seconds they'll turn off the floor LED's go on. Other times the dome lights won't go on at all, they just act as a switch to turn on or off the floor LED's, which you NEVER need while driving. (While Driving) The map lights will always go on but sometimes they'll stay on longer than 30 seconds and sometimes they'll go off and act like a switch to turn on/off the floor LED's. I just use the vanity mirror LED's as my dome lights while driving or parked because they are VERY VERY VERY bright and stay on forever. It's a workaround but not having the dome & map lights work is a f**king pain in the ass. I've tried removing the LED's from the 4 map lights and only having LED's in the dome lights, same results. I've tried the reverse of that with LED's in the map lights and not in the dome lights, same results. I've been dealing with having to work around the issues with the dome/map LED's only because i never wanted to try and explain all the different scenarios in a post but i'm hungover at work today and just don't feel like doing anything productive, so here i am writing this LOL To sum it all up, the LED's look AWSOME and you can use the vanity mirrors as your dome lights but i'm finding that to be MORE AND MORE AND MORE annoying to deal with. So im asking Jlevi (where i got the LED set) for some on how to fix the issue (if there even is one)

I have never run into that issue on an E92 with the LEDs, let me run this by Bimmian and see what we can come up with.
I believe the other poster was referring to the amber strips across the door, those are not replaced with this kit. |

We are working with Bimmian on this and will let you guys know if we find a solution. For the time being, you can run incandescent bulbs in those housings to get rid of the faults.
