led light kit

Post by Rusky » Thu Jul 20, 2017 4:45 pm

I am thinking that the internal lights need a refresh so leds being the obvious choice, are there any kits out there that people would recommend? Also the two down lighters that shine onto the gear stick area, are these easy to change to a different colour? :thumbsup:

The dome/submarine lighting is via two single LEDs, would just need soldering.

BMW do a kit but it's pricey. I've given up trying to do an interior upgrade because it's very difficult to get all the different base types to colour match.
The top ones are easy but you don't get as good a spread due to not using the reflector. If you have foot well lights then the output is reduced.

This is from when I did it, mine still working perfectly and total cost was less than £2.50!

Just checked the eBay listing is still active too
