Retrofit bigger dome light

beanbaguk · 11-21-2015, 07:48 AM

I bought my F31 second hand and the plonker who bought it before did not buy the comfort access light package. (It's a €150 option so it baffles me why it wasn't added!)

It means I have a very limited dome light, no mirror lights and no rear light controls.

I'd like to try and retrofit some of these starting with the front dome.

My one is very small so I was wondering if I can retrofit the larger dome?

If not, can I retrofit the smaller more functional dome? (with left and right reading lights).

Any guides on doing this?
