I got them from a vendor I use on 5series.net (formerly E60.net). I have been using him for years and also used him for some of the parts on my X5. He's based in SoCal. Install isn't that bad. The only pain is getting the clip back on the ballast.

Hello
I know this thread has been around a while and I have read every page, but autolumination's website leaves a lot to be desired.
Can someone tell me if these are the CORRECT replacements for my 06 X5 (E53)..?
Do they come TWO to a single order or do I need to actually order QUANTITY 2..?

$9.99Bayonet
Item # SMT Tower 23ledColor: Super White
Type: 7506
$19.99

Item total:$29.98 .


Thanks
ed

At this point, I would recommend ordering bulbs from Bimmian. They're brighter and will last you a long time. There are so many bulbs out these days, the autoillumination route isn't ideal anymore.

Thanks, but the only ones I find at Bimmian are the WeissLicht LEDs, and frankly I sent back TWO sets for being bad out of the box.

The autolumination site hurts my head to even find anything....and that was AFTER I asked for help...

I'm wondering if I should just go buy some off eBay. Are they REALLY that different..?

Thank you again for the quick reply.

Ed,

There is a member on 5series.net (formerly E60.net) that has been selling lighting to many of the NY/NJ members for years. He's a great guy and someone I would highly recommend. He also has an E60 M5, like me. Great guy. His name is John and his profile is: brabusw209amg.

I would contact him and see what he can do for you. He'll even do the install for free, as he loves this stuff.

CORRECTION: was going to hit cancel and not post but this may help someone else - The bulb called High Powered 9 Led SMT Festoon says "cool white" under the photo but "super white" when you click the add to cart button. I think this is the right bulb, if not I'll post a correction after extinguishing the electrical fire :yikes:

UPDATE: Bulb's received and installed. As far as I can tell, these are the correct bulbs.

Hi i am new to X5 so i was looking to change all the interior lights with same ones...
do you by any chance have all the model numbers that go inside the car?

want more white, but dont care too much for LEDs, since i dont want to put resistors in every bulb.

any help would be appreciated, and also whats the best site to buy them as well.

Thank you

tim-atl 12-15-2010 06:40 PM
Sorry, I don't have the model numbers but no resistors are needed except for the license plate.

jackolo 01-11-2011 04:08 PM
Before I break anything, is there a special method of pulling out the lights for the license plate or any other areas? It looks like there is a place for me to pull on the sides but I'd just like to make sure if anyone can chime in. Much appreciated!

The license plate lights have a small tab that you insert a slim screwdriver in and they pop out. There is an easy illustration in your owners manual

jackolo 01-11-2011 08:55 PM

Much appreciated!
I just opened my owners manual and it's all in German... I may have to ask my dealer about this.
