Like Kev said, you would have to individually solder each LED. Then there's the possibility of having "hot spots". Sure, it can be done but it's not a fun process. I changed the gauges to white on my previous car and I must have logged about 16hrs on the project. PM me if you do decide to take on the task though, I have some helpful pointers.

They might in TW. I think you should be able to find them in car accessories shop. You might have to go to a couple of them to find the bulbs though.

Kev - Did your map/dome lights turn off with other LED's prior to getting yourself those Sirius/Bellof's? Does the new dome light from BREX stay on or are you just dealing with the fact that they shut off when the car is running?

Update:
Evan @ Tischer is nice enough to order up the front passenger foot well lights for me. I'll be doing a PnP conversion of these foot well lights with LED once they get in. That way, you will not have to modify your current housings to accommodate these large LED bulbs. ![]() The LED bulb that will be used for this application is this: http://www.ledlight.com/t10-wedge-si...led-light.aspx ![]() This is gonna be VERY bright and 100% plug and play with no modifications required.

Kev - Can you recommend a SUPER BRIGHT 194 LED bulb for my reverse lights? I currently have these installed and it looks good, but i just want it to be BRIGHTER!
T10 Wedge 5 Ultra Bright SMT LED Light I've tried some regular front firing LED's that were "technically" brighter than the ones in the pic but they didn't look brighter when they were installed because the light was firing straight out and not reflecting off of all the mirrors in the bulb housing. It has to be small enough to fit in the housing like the pic but i just want a brighter one. Any ideas?

[IMG]file:///C:/Users/Ken/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg[/IMG][IMG]file:///C:/Users/Ken/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.jpg[/IMG]Do you know how many Lumen it fires on the sides and/or front?
I was thinking these http://www.ledlight.com/t15-wedg-36-...led-light.aspx but it doesn't list the size of them. I think i'm going to try the ones you recommended. It's basically doubling the LED's i'm using now (tripling the front) so it's worth a shot.

PIAA Map & Dome light LED's from Bavauto.com
Kev - I just went on bavauto.com and saw PIAA Map LED's for $50 and PIAA Dome LED's for $60 both for the e92.
Have you tried these out? I don't like the 24 Dome LED from them because it's so uneven. You said that the BREX Dome LED was a lot more uniform. Did you use that site your wife uses to by them from Japan? If so, how much were the Dome LED's?
