10W LED AE bulbs. Very tight fit, won't slide in without force. I left the heat sinks outside the housing for better cooling (I hope). My iphone makes them look more green than actual.

While everyone is gettin their pants wet doing the "in" mod at the moment, (roof rack delete), I brought back a forgotten mod from about 4 years back that's also cheap and takes a function away, the controversial rear wiper delete (excuse the dirty X it was pouring yesterday)

In all honesty, I never would have done this mod if I hadn't just wasted 20 bucks on a brand new Bosch icon rear wiper that couldn't wipe the center of the swipe, no matter how much I adjusted the arm. So I said eff it, I really rarely use it anyway, but good news is that its 100 percent reversible with a 3 dollar grommet from BMW (I had to trim mine to close the hole up)

Now to tackle my air suspension issues...

S, good news is this mod can be done utilizing your existing hardware! Just unbolt the rear wiper motor and there will be a grommet remaining on the windshield, take it out and flip it around, then just trim the extra rubber off the grommet until it resembles a "plug" (you'll know what I mean when you do this), once you've fitted your new plug snugly into the hole, the black plastic cap that covers the bolt for the wiper arm is placed on top of your new "plug", and voila! (the rubber grommet is 3 bucks from BMW if you ever need to reinstall the rear wiper)

I also ordered this cap from this website to make an even cleaner install, it was a free sample so I will see how it does, but it looks like a great cap to plug the hole, should be even cleaner than it looks now! Caplugs - Button Plugs with Flush-Type Heads - Caplugs
