bravo 35 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 I think you can change the instrument lights, but the other dash lights and the LCD check display cannot be changed (unless they make replacement ones, but I suspect this would eb very expensive). Why change them? The orange lights are badass and part of BMW ownership! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The orange lights are badass and part of BMW ownership! all my Car audio and speakers and subs are all blue and my car is purple , just thought blue might look nice and also to be a bit different Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were like flat head leds. usual ones on trademe are normal round bulbs on trademe and arent bright at all. You paid $19 for one bulb?? i think my bright ones were something like $4 each Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
