Just finish updating my E92 Interior lights to LEDs.........

sorry the pics are not too clear.. I am no expert at taking picture of light bulbs..

i love LEDs. wish they came stock. i just did my e90 the other day. will have to post pictures soon.

Do you have a tripod? Camera needs to take these at a low shutter speed due to the low light, which means you can't hand hold the camera without causing camera blur.

Thanks for the photo tip. Here are the retake of the LED Interior taken complete in dark.

Cool, much better. It really shows your work around the pedals. The third pic is harder to tell as it's almost to dark. It probably wouldn't have hurt to have a little ambient light in that one so we could get a bearing where we are looking (would allow familiar object shapes in the shadows).

I do photography as a hobby (webstite here: http://www.pbase.com/panzer948), but from my experience, low light photography can be some of the most difficult.

Shinchan what bulbs did you use and from where??? btw your the light man... you've modded almost every light that can be modded on the 335i, whats next?

Any error?

I got these from www.v-leds.com They are also on EBAY.. but the ebay price is a bit higher.. prob because of the seller fee they added into cost.

Here is what I order for Interior.

2 x HID WHITE HIGH POWER FLANK BULB 194 168 158 2825 ()
2 x 2 SUPER WHITE LED BULBS 74 (74_W)
3 x 2 VELOCITY LEDS HID WHITE HIGH POWER LED BULBS 194 ()

For the Door and under the front panel, I found these new Flank Bulb to be the best. have the LED Lights shine at right angle. Under the door and under the front panel. the bulbs are mounted horizontal. Which the traditional LED bulb would not be the shining into the wrong direction.

For the Rear, I order the bulb 74. Its small enough to fit...(very close fit, but not perfert.. you might need to make sure the wire does the contact... ) these are polar leds bulb.. so if it does not lite up.. reverse teh bulb...

for the rest of the overhead lights.. I use the high Power 194 Leds...

Interresting....do you find that the interior is TOO bright? I really like the red/orange lights on the interior, but wish they were a bit brighter--not sure I would like this look you have achieved all the time, but it does look good.

I concur, you are the light man!! I just got the angel eyes changed out on my E92, looking to do the fog lights soon--thanks again for all the help!

nope.......LED

[dmboone25]

Shinchan--maybe a few more pics from inside the car? In the dark, or not much light?

[Shinchan]

2nd set of picture are taken completely in dark.. expose 1 second... no flash... using 400ISO.......

NO ERROR ON DASH.... since these are not monitor like the damn outside bulb...

These LED are high power... meaning brighter then your normal LED with exception of the rear entry lights... they are just regular bulb.. so the pic of the back is darker...

Now.. As far as changing the License plate light to brigher whiter LED>..

Personally.. I would not do it at all... i have a smoke plate cover to trying to darken the ability to read my plate.... and thoese ugly yellow license plate light emit very little light and make it impossible to read my plate at night until u are at directly behind my car....catch my drift?

[G-son]

I just changed all the bulbs in my E90 to LEDs. Works fine with the engine off, But with the engine running, not a single LED will light up...

[ksfrogman]

So LED is a lot brighter? How is the color on the eyes? The photos make the lights look more blue. Would you say this is not as "soft" as the regular bulbs?

[Shinchan]

I check the car.. by running the LED interior for more then 5 min.. sure enough.. all top once on the roof will not turn on after awhile...

hmm.. MIght need some resister to simulate the load.. but all the buttom mount once remain lite...... so more experiment to come
