After wanting to change these for a long while I finally got the motivation after seeing another forum member had already beat me to it with the gearknob. I've began changing over my interior smds. First up I changed the sport and eco Pro to Red/blue to match my 6wb.

I intend on changing the traction and P buttons to white but I've misplaced my white smds. Here's the first parts I'll update as I get on incase any other members want to see the final results.

Another couple bits done while im bored. The footwell lights are too bright so I'm going to give them a quick tint in the morning with some left over medium smoke tint I have lying around. All of this has changed only the orange classic setting and maintained the white sport mode which I mostly use.

You must be bored pal!!

[WillLowe]

Yeah. Luckily I'm still working but after finishing work there's nothing at all to do but sit in my digs. So figured I'd keep myself busy with car stuff.

Love the blue and red driving mode buttons, if BMW saw that then surely they'd have a lightbulb moment!

Hi, can some one tell me what are the resistors of rear fog light switch LED?

[Bachu1]

Great work :-)

[RobUK]

Those pics remind me of the RGB stuff you see on Linus Tech Tips

Good stuff, you obviously have a talent for this kind of work. I'm the sort of person who leaves most DIY well alone as I'm a measure twice, cut once and still gets it wrong sort of person.
