DIY: Footwell Light upgrade (from yellow to white)
Hello everyone.
Since I had some extra time, I've decided to do a mod that I wanted to do since I got the car. I really hate those footwell yellow LEDs that we get from factory and IDK why BMW decided to put LED but with so low temperature color. So I have ordered 100 pieces of LEDs from eBay and decided to replace factory ones with 6000K temperature color. I didn't had any fancy or expensive equipment and I got job done and am pretty happy with the results. Next thing I wanna do with interior lightning is to replace those yellow dome and reading lights, but unfortunately I think LEDs aren't same like in the footwell. |

Yes, it is very simple, just solder in new LEDs and that's it. Only little issue that I had is that everything is so tinny and I struggled a bit at the beginning. But definitely worth the effort, the results are AMAZING, it's 10 times better. Can't wait to do the Dome Lights now. Today I have took apart rear dome light, and it seems like these LEDs that I have used for footwell will fit inside Dome Lights. Tomorrow I will myb try to replace them, |
