LED Interior and License Plate

[Shinchan]

Here are some pictures of my LED solutions for interior and License Plate.

No bulb out error and they also works when the engine is running... for those of you who may not know.. Interior BUlb are very picky....

Some interior LED may work when the engine is off.. but as soon as engine is on... its different story.

Now, I have not found a solution for map light... but the center counsol and two side one above the rear works..

Looks cool ! Which LEDs did you use ?

Damn those are bright.

Wow those are indeed VERY Bright! Lights up the whole car!

What type of bulbs did you use, and where can we find them? Also did you have to do any mod to the wiring?

Thanks!

License Plate is a self modified OEM housing with BAVAUTO 2X 12LED.

with the exception of the license plate light, everything else is Plug and Play.

and They don't give out any error on my 2009 X5 at all. they all work when the engine is on.... Its very important that you test LED solution when the engine is on.... since on my E92, all LED worked.. until the engine is on.. only few will stay on... and error free... when engine is running...

Simchan,

how did you change out the front center console? Also, when you say rear above door, did you mean the rear license plate light or the two map lights above the rear door? Thanks

I have the bavauto left over from my last car.. before i trade in for X5. now, there is a new led out there.. I am think will work..

V-LEDS HID WHITE 8 M-SMT 4W HIGH POWER BULBS 194 168 158 921 912

4 Watt.. with warning.. that these should not left on for long period of time.. so... its perfect for Center console.... which just need to turn on and off when the door is open... and since there 2watt application is super bright.. 4 watt prob is blinding bright...

I put some leds in the overhead lights and they flash , but same leds in footwell are ok.. is there some reason for this ?

[rh71]

nice, I actually like the low ambient lighting that goes with the saddle brown interior, but I will swap out the 4 under each door. I didn't even know those existed till I took a look just now - the stock lights there are useless. Thanks for the links.

EDIT>> BTW, v-leds.com has a few different coupon codes to apply if you just use google... good for 10-15% off (they don't stack) which amounts to free shipping.
