How To: Interior and Rear License Plate LEDs
Hi All,
Hope this helps.
If anyone is planning to do the interior then there is a handy guide here:
http://bd8ba3c866c8cbc330ab-7b26c6f3e01 ... ht_Kit.pdf
I am not in the USA so I couldn't order from that firm direct but managed to find all the bulbs needed in a handy kit on ebay for around the £14 mark.
Alternatively if the above link doesn't work then:

and click on the instillation tab and there is a link to the PDF file.

How To: Interior and Rear License Plate LEDs
You can still fit the leds to the dome and reading lights, just take the plastic cover off and put them in from the other side. It's just a bit awkward to do.

How To: Interior and Rear License Plate LEDs
In this corona virus self isolation times, ive been thinking of upgrading my e86 with interior LED lights.
My german is very poor, but ive been reading even on german forums about which leds i need and its a bit confusing.
I ordered the led bulb in 32mm for the trunk which was recommended online - https://www.cit-ltd.co.uk/product-eng-5 ... WHITE.html
For the reading lights i think i need this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3286649 ... st=ae803_3
But for the rest of the interior i have no idea what to order. Can anyone help with this please?
In this topic there were few recommendations but the posts are quite old, and now, as i understand, i should go for 4014 leds but of what design, manufacturer etc. Links would be higly appreciated

Looks very much like it from memory.
Be careful with the bulbs they send. I haven't read back through the thread but thre center of the three middle over head lights is slightly to big and requires you to modify the case to fit it in.
I have seen some people drill a slightly bigger hole. I personally heated up the end of a tea spoon and melted the plastic slightly to fit it in.
If I had my time again I would have bought smaller lights.

I used google to translate the page.
