E90 Door Handle LED's

ssc330d · 03-20-2012, 06:26 AM

Hi all,

new member here. i have just returned to the BMW fold. Recently purchased a 2006 330d M sport. I previously owned a 2005 320d se a car or two ago.

I hope that this is in the right section - I am after some advice about fitting the door handle led's on my 330d. The 2 drivers side ones are fitted and working fine, but the passenger side ones arent working - because there is none fitted!!

Please see pic -

After a bit of searching, I know that the part I need is -

My question is - where does the electric cable plug into? Obviously I will need to remove the door trim etc, but has anyone replaced this before and know where the power is sourced from?

Many thanks.

Nearly 200 views but no reply - obviously not a common diy job!

Just look where they are plugged into on DS, then find a similar loose connector on PS that is not being used - male/female connector types are fairly specific, I can't believe there would be a multitude of the correct style connector hanging around loose inside the door.

They plug in inside the door panel
