Installation of LED Interior Lights

Model: BMW Serie 1 E81, E82, MK 1, E87 - Years 2004-2013
Part: Interior dome light bulb

Replacing the interior lights with LED types will give the car a more modern and appealing look. Start with the lights in the ceiling near the rear-view mirror. Gently detach the cover plate and proceed to replace the bulbs: if it does not light up, rotate it 180 degrees (LEDs have a specific polarity). Continue in the same way with the central ceiling light, then move to the glove compartment and finally to the boot (bulb type T10). For the new bulbs, you can also opt for a kit containing the suitable models and number of bulbs for your car.
