I was installing the LED interior kit from highperformancebulbs.com today and when I tried for the trunk and put it all back together, it caused a spark when I tried to put it back into the hole of the trunk... at this moment I realized the LED light turned off... Thinking it burnt the LED, I tried putting back the factory bulb to no avail.... Also, I noticed the glove box light is out too.... but it worked completely fine before the whole trunk light thing...

Does anyone know if I blew a fuse? Are the trunk and glove box sharing the same fuse? If so, does anyone know which one I have to change? I tried looking at the paper in my fuse box but I couldn't make out what was what...

I have a 2006 325i....

Thanks in advance...

P.S. I will be doing a review on this kit... just to let people know.... these LEDs are FREAKING BRIGHT AS HELL....

3erdriver · 07-22-2011, 11:57 AM

what about the

Parking light
2825

is that the bulb that hang inside the high beam area. a little wedge bulb. i think i'd like to get a silverstar or something else brighter. i'm not going for the fake xenon look. i looked for it at pepboys this morning and they didn't have that but had a few other little wedge bulbs.

also replacement. not sure how that one comes out. i felt around but couldn't quite get the trick of it.

N0OS3 · 10-07-2011, 10:17 PM

Find ALL of the bulbs listed here in full:

badass1g · 01-08-2012, 11:54 PM

Can i just remove the amber bulb on the outsides of the headlights and get some replacements in clear or is the lense actually amber too? What model number bulb would i need if this is doable? Also how do you get to the location?

dmaverik9 · 02-02-2012, 08:49 AM

Can somebody tell me which is the light that goes right under the reverse light on an e90?..on the trunk side

Did you search the sponsors on the forum...?? There should be plenty of choices.

You can even find them on Ebay...!!!!

paulmm · 05-29-2012, 10:38 PM

okay, thank you

N0OS3 · 06-21-2012, 02:23 AM

what's the new LCI halogen turn signal Bulb code? (i would RTFM, but i put LCI headlights in my pre-LCI)

GTstunna612 · 09-19-2012, 07:57 PM

my '07 335i fog lamp bulb is H11?

danmcq · 11-17-2012, 08:32 PM

Someone should really specify the make, model and year these codes are appropriate for. They are definitely not accurate for a 2009 335i sedan with Xenons.

mAdTYzz · 12-04-2012, 03:18 PM

Hello dudes and dudetes! I have a 2006 325i, and i really want to change my angel eyes to led. I am a diy kinda guy so before spending like 100eu on the whole led assembly i have to ask you. Does anybody have a good picture with the bulb from ae. I found sites that sale led, direct in a socket like a bulb so i wonder if i can find for the ae also. Any help/info is apreciated.

SDSUDons · 12-14-2012, 10:10 PM

In response to the thread in general, thank you for putting this together.

To the guy who said this thread is a waste because you can take the bulb out and see what bulb it is: Sure, you could take your wheel off, peel back the panel and whatnot, then remove the bulb, THEN order your replacement lights and wait for them to come. The rest of us are happy to have this knowledge up front so our e90 doesn't sit in the driveway waiting for a bulb. Streamlines the process.
