Not a fan (especially the obnoxious M Performance 1/150 logo)...they need to go and I may just put a piece of tape over them. Is there a software (coding) way to disable them? Or can I just pull them out of the door?


Thanks

Should be an independent system like the one on the door sills

Buy the standard OEM light projectors and replace them, should be plug and play

Think that it might be something similar to part #5 on the realoem diagram code (63316972605) but I can't confirm, research is on you

I guess thats what I'm asking...I glanced up there...is it easy to just unplug them? Or do I have to take the freaking door apart to get to it?

Yeah you also need to remove the engine and the exhaust

Dude, it's like changing a lamp.. for the E-series you only needed a pry tool or a Flathead screwdriver to do it

yeah? Okay...assuming there aren't any write-ups on how to install the projectors (so I can do the reverse)? And can you just take out the stupid translucent logo so its just a light on the ground?

Hardest part is removing the light by using a small flat head screw driver. I had my M projector lights port installed and the M logo wasn't perfectly straight. Took me a few attempts to get it just right. Even the lights were put on the wrong side because the lens is suppose to be closer to middle of car. Looking back I could of saved money and did it myself but since I'm not really a hands on type of guy and wanted it "professionally" installed I was willing to pay a premium. Disappointing to experience a poor installation job by the port installers.

Nope...I keep stock parts. Thanks though. I will simply just pull these out and unplug them haha

It's just an overlay pop the light out and remove the overlay simple as that

My PE can with the stock white light lamps in the glovebox, Incase I ever wanted to go back as you currently do.

My car has the stock white lamps as well, it should be in the box with the different projector lenses. You can just swap that in, so you don't have to run a projector lens on the light.

Light doesn't go away bro. all of the cars have the light on the bottom of the door, just our non PE cars aren't LED with the silly logo

So, you can't disable it...you can remove it, paint it black, put in factory ones?

lol I just unplugged it tonight Keith...no more ridiculousness

lol i just figured it was going to be harder than just unplugging it (some warning light or something)

The projector also does get pretty hot so watch out when you are taking them out if the car is on (or radio-ready)

Sell them and swap with whom ever buys them from you for the stock ones.

I'd bring that to BMW's attention, ask them to make it right!
