@4jiggy1 you do not have to disconnect the battery. Also if you disconnect the battery it will reset your radio, clock and other such things as well as the cars ecu (if left disconnected long enough) and transmission computer. It wont hurt anything it just reverts the settings back to stock and the ecu and transmission will relearn all your driving habits again.

You will need 7 x "T10 194 5SMD Blue" and 5 x "41mm 8smd Blue" and 2 x "41mm 12smd" (for the trunk) and 2x "39mm smd" for the rear license plate. sort by: Price + shipping lowest first one ebay You will have difficulties installing the T10 5smd bulbs. For the dome light, right and left side bulb, simply attach the socket first without the bulb, then snap the bulb in from the outside. For middle bulb, remove the front see through cover / plastic first, same for the rear cabin lights.

@furious310 no, LED's run off less power than standard halogen lamps. you will be fine.

[@MrDemontrigger]

Nice vid. Would be nice if you have time to do a before and after vid to show the light difference

[@Acclamator55]

funny , i love the bulbs, but i hate the sliver flashy trim.

[@spoonerdee]

@beemahboi You will be fine swapping the map lights. You wont harm anything.

[@demoultrie]

Where did you get the bulbs and can you tell me the sizes for each replacement?

[@jpdidio1002]

When you installed these lights, did you lose power to your dome lights at all? I installed LED lights in the same vehicle and I lost power to all of the lights when I installed the last bulb. I know they have resistors that compensate for the lost power, but did you have to do that too?

[@TheEdgar707]

I tried taking the center council lighting cover off and it feels like it wants to brake off, so I didn't bother risking it. How come you showed how to take the lighting covers off on every single one except the center council? It the hardest one. Did you use a special tool, a way or something? Because I couldn't do it.

[@tonyrod911]

were do i buy the correct fitting interior bulbs as you have.i got t10 bulbs but still don't fit properly

[@ericr7540]

Thanks for the vid

[@Johncarson9113]

@xxLiiFteDxx Hey man since you installed these on your car can you tell me what size fits best? My cousin has a 2002 BMW 325i sedan. He bought a pair of LED 6000K license plate bulbs. The bulb # is 6418 for all 2002-2005 3 series but he got the 42mm and they are way to long for the socket. Whats the appropriate size? 39mm or 36mm?

[@Sms68]

can you get colored bulbs for these. looking for blue...thanks

[@Cadw]

Do some of your 41 mm festoon bulbs sometimes go out intermittently i.e interior and number plate?

[@HerrenbachStyle]

[@bmwsd619]

[@x3mrseekx3]

[@MOTM92]

[@Bimmerman97]

[@365Teezy]

[@moneylov2]

Does this void bmw warranty?

[@fmmsss]

the back ones i screw both of them, but i solve it with some duck tape.

[@chuckcp]

where can i get those leds?

[@bartgbx8501]

my dome light looks different and i cant find the the clips to unpop it

[@arielguieb8280]

I had a difficulty time popping the light dome myself and was afraid I would butcher the interior lining. Finally after wrestling with the light, as I propped one side open, on that same end, I pried open directly from the end of the light. The whole light came off. The clips of my light looked very different from the clips in the video. I had to rebend those clips to make the light fit snug again. Otherwise there will be a lot of play which is ugly. Good luck

[@arielguieb8280]

ariel guieb BTW, I was referring to the interior lights at the center front between the driver and the passenger.
