Interior 6500K LEDs installed

06E90Rostik · 11-16-2006, 05:18 PM

Installed right after they came me (this morning)

Simply put, I love them!

They even dim as OEM, when you open/close car.

First pic, front dome and reading lights, both 6500K, second pic, reading lights in the rear for comparison, third is rear with 6000K dome and OEM reading lights. I ordered two pairs 6000K and 6500K, to see which are better. I think 6500K are better.

yeah i like the 6500 k better. looks great though!

Alpine · 11-16-2006, 05:23 PM

Any errors? Where did you get them?

06E90Rostik · 11-16-2006, 05:44 PM

Interior lightning is not controlled by computer, so no errors. eBay

Vinobien · 11-16-2006, 07:16 PM

they both look they would light things up to me

The interior lighting is not controlled by the ECU. But if you tried to replace the reading lights with LED as well. then there will be a chance for your dome lights to switch off after a few second. The current will trigger the dimming function.

MonacoBimm · 11-16-2006, 09:14 PM

Wow it looks great!

longtran · 11-16-2006, 09:15 PM

those are dimmer arent they???

uhaulball · 11-16-2006, 10:21 PM

can u post link? i want

06E90Rostik · 11-16-2006, 11:02 PM

uha: Link might lead to item ended so do this: go on ebay type 194 LED 1W and it will show results, I chose warden_jp2002 seller. they have cheapest items and S&H. If you do end up buying from them let me know, I will demand discount for referral!

long: what do you mean dimmer? They are brighter then OEM and they dim as you close doors

Riku: not w/ mine, mine are

longtran · 11-16-2006, 11:05 PM

everytime i change out bulbs for interior, its always dimmer than the oem lighting.

ksfrogman · 11-16-2006, 11:08 PM

This is so ironic. In homes, the regular light bulbs are a little too harsh on the eyes, so we go with "soft" ones which are more yellowish white. Now we're doing the opposite for our cars.

06E90Rostik · 11-16-2006, 11:08 PM

Regular LED, may be, these are new generation Lux type

I cant understand people that go for Bimminian "Xenon" crap, mine are totally cool when lit plus brighter then OEM 5 watts bulbs

If it has 194/168 slots then yes, neat are they?

uhaulball · 11-16-2006, 11:18 PM

do the 194 LED 1W fit in just the reading lights? or did u use that for the center console lights too. basically, you bought like 4 of these 194 LED 1W right?

SES_D · 11-16-2006, 11:32 PM

ay be careful if you changed your TRUNK light. My friends trunk led burned out and melted...there are threads on this if you search it up.

I asked the bulb question a while ago, some e90s (i guess newer models) use festoon type bulbs 37mm that are in dome and foot and door lights. I have 194 all way around and festoon type in the trunk and the face/visor thing.

So to be sure pop open the dome lights and see. Best advise

He used the blue glass 20W halogen right? Thought so...

uhaulball · 11-17-2006, 01:48 AM

oo rostik, thank you.. i understand what you mean. im gonna check the lights tomorrow. i think when i hardwired my V1 i saw that i had festoon's in some places.

mds82 · 11-17-2006, 11:18 AM

Those LED's look like newer generation 1watt Light engines. They looks like they are good quality and cheep for the price

How bright is it VS. Stock?

I don't have a Lux meter, but I would say brighter by at least 1/3. they have a 180 degree light beam output

BTW mds82, my version of LUX Rings is comming

It won't be for sale thought, just for hobby.
