335i LED Conversion (work in progress)
I've switched out the front blinkers, reverse lights, and all door/footwell lights. I'm not sure if I like the footwell lights being so white so I left the passenger stock - the color difference between the reading lights and footwell lights kills it for me I think. I was going to swap the trunk light but the light is a different size. The door lights are noticeably brighter (for a brightness comparison, the footwell lights are the same as the door lights)
I'll add pics of the front blinkers in the housing tomorrow. I'm waiting on the rear blinkers from Bimmian still but I'll make sure I get those pictures up as well. I apologize for the low quality photos but an iphone in low light isn't the best... don't have my DSLR 6/11/14: Coded out all the flickering. The reverse bulbs definitely flickered, I coded the others before I installed anyways.

Turn signals
**Reverse bulbs Interior foot-well and door lights - here is for all 6 lights. (two in footwells, 1 on each door). FYI on the reverse bulbs, Bimmian has one set of reverse bulbs listed under the turn signals page. Get those and not the ones from the blinkers page Last edited by Steve33; 06-14-2014 at 09:58 PM.. |

E-mailed and asked if the blinkers will also work as brake lights (not sure if there will be a heat issue or not). I can pull the bulb from the brake light and see if it's the same kind of bulb as the reverse lights, or if it's the same as the blinkers. If it's the same as the blinkers, I'll put both of them into the brake lights and snap a quick video
No problem - I'll keep updating as I make some progress |

Yea i just managed to get the cover of one, the standard lights are LED, but they're warm (yellowish) light. I don't really understand why BMW didn't make them the same white light as the under exterior handle lights!

The whole thing is supposed to come out, not just the cover? And the bulbs are the same, just not sure if there would be a heat issue or whatnot |

Could this type of coding also code out the flickering headlights (HID) on a non projector (halogen) headlights for a 320?

The trunk - the bulbs don't fit properly in, so I haven't switched them. |

BL_M should be IS_LED aktiv already? I think all F30's have the LED middle brake light? I'm not sure what the horizontal red bars are coding wise, but those are LED too I believe. So if SL and SL_2 are IS_LED aktiv already, I'm going to assume those are them |

You know I just realized that my owner's manual is incorrect; I do not have parking light (item 1 in attached)
Thanks
