For those of you who ordered the 1 piece strips from David, could you comment on how well the light is distributed along the strip? Can you see individual bulbs or is the light distributed uniformly?

Debating whether to buy a set from the 3D Printing Chicago website but this factor is holding me back.

You can definitely see the individual bulbs but it looks pretty nice. Definitely a nice upgrade for the price

That's what I'm thinking. If you're willing to play with the plastic composition I would be happy to wait and see what you come up with. An idea I had was to potentially slightly sand down the exposed edge as well, which would dull the light a bit but would probably be more evenly distributed.

I did this mod on my car. Looks great with the LCI LED Radio surround. Videos for both can be found on my channel.

I have the LCI f30 so 2018. My ambient lights doesnt look as bright as these with brightness up. I'm intrigued.

Viper901 · 01-23-2019, 03:30 PM

Here's a quick picture of mine. Will take some better ones next time.

Were you able to get it to change to blue via the sport lighting option on iDrive? I know you can change it manually with the switch on the trim piece itself.

Viper901 · 01-23-2019, 04:14 PM

Yes absolutely, everything controlled from the idrive. Not a big fan of the blue color but otherwise looks great.

Where did you get yours from? Light output looks higher than others. Or is that just how the photo turned out?

Viper901 · 01-23-2019, 08:53 PM

Shoot me a PM and I will send you the link where to buy it. Yes, that's the actual brightness, very bright. Of course you can turn the brightness down on the idrive. I keep it @ 3/4. I'm very OCD with quality and these are exact fit like OEM in gloss black. Here's some more pictures.

Can someone please send me the file for the f30 thanks

Ferman · 02-02-2019, 07:03 PM

I just got mine, what kind of glue is everyone using?

JDTX · 02-02-2019, 10:12 PM

I didn't think that anyone was using glue... just slipping them in.

A friend at work has an F32 420d Sport and wants to change his ambient footwell lighting to red/orange (to match the dash lighting) and also have the lighting on all the time. At present he says he has white lighting which turns itself off when he closes the door. What is involved in replacing the footwell lighting and could it be coded using something like bimmercode? Thanks.

It depends. Check the connector. If it has al 4 pins wired its probably plug and play. If not then you need to wire ambient colors from fem
