It should light up when you unlock the doors after pressing the remote and when you turn off the engine. I lights up for around 10 seconds.

Ok now that would be NICE! Let us know if this can be done! Those lights are part of the premium package in the X brochure...at least on the 2005 one.

You have to remove the cover of the mirror, in there there are standard 5w lamps, they can surely be changed to led.

If members who have done this mod before can please make a DIY for this mod that would be great ..... I really would like to make these lights brighter if possible but I dont know how to take out the mirror to get to the lights... Im scared I might break something in the process...
