LED reverse lights

Inuyasha · 04-07-2019, 02:17 PM

I just did this mod and its a huge difference in brightness and looks Clean!
Pics don't do it justice, can’t see the difference. The right bulb is LED, see the extra reflection off the bumper compared to the left?

My LED package came with a gift
Anyone know what bulbs these are for? Very small.

I followed this thread for installation.. note that the upper corner of the taillights is held in by a rubber grommet which needs to be pulled out. I used a plastic interior pry bar and a microfiber towel for contact points - easy off.

Nice! I didn't know that the back up light was a regular bulb? Now I have to upgrade. What kind of bulb is it?

Its LED, looks weird compared to the standard bulb. I ordered the same LED’ from the DIY link above from Aliexpress. Cant go wrong.

On my OG M2 I replaced all the taillight lamps (minus the fogs) with LEDs. It looks soooooo much better. The reverse lights really stand out.

Lots of good info in this old thread: https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1405935

Concur - I have the same ones as andrewc89. Very bright even through the dark overlays I have on. No brainer at $25.
