: You have to be up earlier than that to catch me out Bc

I honestly didn't realise there was one in there.

Having now installed (most ) of these, I'm now wondering if better quality/LED layout lights would be better.

Something like these maybe as most of the light generated from the puddle, boot and map lights is thrown sideways. The ones I currently have project most of their light out the end where there are 4 LED's (great for the centre roof console btw).

The glove box light can stay as it is, not much room to get the bulb out, besides when trying to get at it looking upside down in the footwell it looks a smaller bulb, but i could be wrong.
Bc, i have taken a bulb out of the vanity mirror and i will call round to my local bulb supplier and see if they do them in led and i will report back later with the size.

I keep asking myself.......... Is it all really worth it

I know what you mean. I do like the look it gives to the number plate , but the jury is still out on the inside .
The only thing is that there is already the interior mood lighting in LED (door handles, door storage etc) so I think it will not look out of place.

I've kept all the bulbs I've replaced so may well swap them back at some point.

Do let me know if you find an LED for the vanity mirror though  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

the glove box bulb appears to be IMPOSSIBLE to remove - try it!

Bc, ive got some led's for the vanity mirrors, the guy i got them off didn't know what size they were because he just matched them up with the bulb i took out so sorry guys i can't help with model number Anyway i put the first one in on the left hand side of the passanger side vanity mirror, no probs, however, when i put the right hand side bulb in it blew a fuse Never mind i thought, so i struggled to get the blown fuse out (fat hands confined space) managed in the end, replaced fuse having changed the bulb while the fuse was blown, new fuse in place new bulb in place, opened mirror flap and POP fuse blows again, so i thought it for today, i'll sort it out tomorrow.

Your luck you wished me Bc must have worked, cheers because they are all done now, what i did learn though is that the vanity mirror led's are not a perfect fit and you have to fiddle them around a little bit to get them to work, push them right in like the ones i took out and they don't work, you have to pull them out a little bit (when you have worked out which is the right way round) in total 4 fuses later, all done so thats every interior bulb changed except the glove box which looks near on impossible so it can stay yellow . I must admit, now they are all change you have to ask the question why don't L/R put them in as standard, they look really
