Trunk I got from BMS but its on eBay as well if you look: http://www.burgertuning.com/BMW_LED_trunk_lights.html

Vanity lights eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-F30-F31-...162784?vxp=mtr

Thank you...so do you think all the lights have the same color of white? That is my only concern with buying lights from various vendors. I would prefer to buy the complete kit from 1 place.

It's really hard to tell at all.
I don't see a real color difference between the ones I've had except some use a clear lens and others are white like OEM dimming them.
I prefer the clearer brighter ones.
But since my domes are still yellow LEDs they throw it all off. But to be honest the ones I've done precise color doesn't matter at all because never are the lights on at the same time. Normally vanity lights are the only light on in the car when my wife uses them. Glove box light is also normally on by itself. My puddles direct identical Ms on the ground only. Footwells match and who cares what color the trunk looks like. It's just bright and white now and I can see everything definitely a great mod. But I still think the colors are all quite similar.

Lol. That price is like 4x+ what I paid which is why I was confused. But they must have reposted at a much higher price. There's lots of sellers of these lights. Shouldn't be paying more than $30/each for this type of fixture.

Thats why I am confused. So can you please answer me this:

Are the lights for courtesy, footwell, and glovebox the same?

If by courtesy you mean door puddles, yes.
All those fixtures are interchangeable.

Great. I think I will go with less bright ones for the footwells versus the puddle lights. Dont want to blind myself in the car!

I wouldn't be too concerned about being blinded by the footwell lights since they're indirect, but it's all about personal taste.

Are there any Japan located or Japanese speaking forum users willing to help try and interface with the dealers in Japan for a US group buy?

Well there is...Another manufacturer (Promina) actually makes just the Front & Rear Map lights. It's about $259 USD for the set or $146 for one before delivery charges. Finally it's only available in Japan again.

I decided to bite the bullet and try to buy the promina dome LEDs from a Japanese proxy buying service.
I'll keep posted with results!

There are a lot of sites that help you buy from places like Amazon.co.uk and amazon.jp and other overseas vendors. Just google it.

Here is an Amazon Japan link to the Promina front Dome LED.

Nice Promina's are pretty good, I've seen them in person last time at Studie.

I might pick up the Brex UG next time I'm there, too bad they're not listed on Amazon or Rakuten
