Not in all countries, at least, when I bought mine. To LED lighting, you needed the "interior light package" option. Well, mine takes, that is, they are LEDs, but the LED light is still yellowish and very weak.

I just changed glove compartment, trunk, under doors and footwell lights, check the difference!

I also found leds for vanity mirror lights but, to my knowledge, there is nothing in the aftermarket for dome/maps lights...

Did you not lose the color changing functionality for the footwell lights? And +1 for the trunk! Where did you get them from?

Yes, you lose it, turn off when starting the engine but I dont mind. The intensity of the ambient light in the feet (and in the rest of the car) is completely ridiculous!!!

I bought them in a Spanish web, but I think are the same as, for example, sold in Burger Motorsport or through ebay.

Which one of the overhead lights do you have? The fully LED one or the one with a halogen bulb?

Thanks, I see that there is a complete kit for the F30/F31 but for those who come with halogen bulbs.
14 bulbs, 27 pounds, cheap, isn't it?

Haha price per bulb sounds like a bargain, if it's that much of an issue with you, check if you can retrofit the halogen one (I don't know who would do it though) and then put the ones you see on Horizon.

Impossible, the LEDs are integrated in board, no sockets.

-TRUNK






-DOORS








-FOOTWELL







-VANITY MIRROR





I haven't removed the roof domes, but the system is the same ...

I said erlier, in a Spanish web. The measures are 40x80mm, ie the same as in the E9X, E6X, E8X, E38, etc, etc......

By the way, just installed the vanity mirror leds. Shortly photos (now dome/maps leds lights are more ridiculous than ever )

Well, here they are the pics





and a short video



The difference in brightness, regardless of color, is huge!!!


And there's another issue that perhaps for some is unimportant. In the E92 also already happening and it seemed an incomprehensible error in the design and it's repeated in the F32.
When you lift the lower trunk lid, it covers the dome and you see nothing.



One way to solve it (I did it also in the E92)
