F32 Ambient Light Replacement

Lycoris · 01-13-2021, 05:47 PM

I noticed that my driver's door ambient light isn't on. I opened the door panel and saw that the led strip was completed cracked off a few inches from the plug. does anyone know where I can buy a replacement for this or even an upgrade since it was pretty dim to begin with? I found some for a 4 door but not a coupe. I considered getting the 4 door one to use the front two but it's not gonna fit as the trim looks different.
thanks.

Greetings! Sorry to hear about your ambient lighting issue. Check the link below it has part numbers that you will need if you need to replace the LED module and/or the clear tube. It's in Russian but most browsers can translate nowadays. You can buy the parts from any BMW dealer. I'm not sure about sites you can order OEM parts from but I'm sure someone can chime in.

There's also a German website that sells different colored LED modules and they're much brighter. What's good about their products, you just replace the LED circuit board. I'm waiting on my order to come in for some blue/white LED modules, it's been a few weeks unfortunately but you may have better luck speed wise. The link below is the LED module you will need for the door ambient lights you will need 2 for front and 2 for the back.

There's also LED modules if you want to replace the footwell ambient lights.

I had this on mine. As I have m4 door cards my old ones were sitting in the garage so I drilled the plastic welds and borrowed the entire ambient lighting strip and resealed with my hot glue gun.
