LED Interior Lights
Did somebody replace the interior lights with LED and what did they use?

Yes, they are LED but I do not like the colour temperature. Far to Yellow for my tastes. I would prefer a cooler whiter light output.

Exactly, BMW do make a led replacement kit which may fit our cars but not had enough time to fully research yet -

Short of pulling the boards out and desoldering the LEDs and replacing with new ones, there's nothing you can do. I think the stock lighting is terrific, the only thing I dislike is that the door puddle lights are mismatched compared to the interior. They went with a warmer more natural light for the interior, but then the puddle lights and exterior handle lights are very cool blue, it's kind of strange.

White light offers greater visibility and dynamic range. This is why white light is used in the puddle lights, for kitchen's and bathrooms, headlights, spotlights, studio lights for filming/photography, work lights, etc. Yellow light is more calming. Which is why it's used for interiors, living rooms, bedrooms, lamps/nightstands, etc. https://www.earthled.com/blogs/light...m-in-your-home |
