LED Interior Conversion

Hello Fellas,

Looking to change the interior lights to BMW OEM LED is there any DIY's out there? Goods, Bad, What to look out for?

Did some searching and couldn't locate anything.

Thanks,

I followed a combination of ECS Tuning's Ziza Interior Lighting Package install procedures combined with You Tube video of Precision LED's procedure. These are both for the F10, but the procedure is pretty much the same.

I see that you posted a comment, so when I tried to change out the bulbs I completely destroyed the clear lens and pretty much messed up a few things. Lucky for me I still had warranty and I took it in and it was covered. What a mission!

i tried again. i did not want to give in but ultimately i didnt want to break anything either so frustrating its a silly piece! All thats happening when i apply pressure to the side clip is the air bag light piece keeps flexing which is very odd none of he videos show this on youtube so it must be still attached somewhere else. i even pulled the whole thing down from the front slightly releasing the front clips before attempting the side (from the uk driver side)..
