Just make sure they are canbus for the error codes and 5050 leds for brightness.

I don't see the reason for expensive BMW kits when Ebay bulbs are way cheaper and seemingly just as bright.
I went the same route and ended up spending less than $25 for the entire swap out despite having tried an $80 "error free" kit before that had errors lol

Still need to swap out my back plate LEDs tho.

I used them for my lightbar under my hood I installed last night. I'll post pics on it once I get all the wires tucked up and I'm happy with a clean install.

The ones I ordered already have their listings ended on eBay but with these links I'm sure you'll get the idea, be sure to contact the vendor regarding the specs before you actually place an order or risk errors.

Technically these will be the same ones you get from those pre-assembled kits, just picked out by the "pros" who know what works and what doesnt for a slight mark-up.

Ordered the High Performance LED interior lighting on Saturday, 5/5/12, total cost was 77.50$ shipped. Received them today (picked standard 5-7 day shipping, so came very quickly), excellent packaging. Will install them today and post pictures!

Cool. Please post some pics so we can see how well they light up the interior.

Just got done installing the High Performance LED interior lighting. Here is my review;

Shipment / Packing : Shipment was very fast, only took 2 days for them to arrive on my door step. Packing was excellent. Crazy bubble wrap and shipping peanuts.

Quality : The LEDs are bright, but can be brighter. What i mean by that is, i don't have the courtesy lights, vanity mirror lights, and rear arm rest lights on the bottom, so my interior isn't as bright as the one posted on there website. (My car is only equipped with the M-Sport package).

Installation : Installation was a breeze. Took a total of 25-30 minutes altogether. Very straight forward, and HighPerformance LED included a little guide.

Overall, very happy with the product. The price is a little steep, 77$, but one of the best out there in my opinion. I will post better pictures, but these will do for now.

Pictures :

Before :


After (the yellowing on the passenger airbag is my garage light, not the interior lighting):

Apparently the glovebox and the boot ones is not compatible?

Anyone done the install knows why the boot light and glovebox light not included?

Ten LED lamp kit - #63122212788 this is the one I ordered.

Thanks.

The 2 pcs you have left are for the E87, 4 door version. The BMW kit doesn't come with the festoons required for the glove box or vanity visor lights. The boot light has to be purchased separately, it is a complete high intensity unit, not just a bulb replacement.

I got LED Light set from Ali Express. Paid AUD$ 26 delivered. Direct replacement and does the exact same job. Very impressed with the lights!! Easy to replace too!! A must DIY If your car doesn't come with white light!! Mine is 2006 E90 (320i)

So these are stated Canbus, but don't see anything regarding brightness. Do you have a link for what you purchased?

I used this exact kit and they work perfectly. In your link, if you scroll down to the LED vs Halogen comparison, it states 100LM/W with Xenon White listed as the color (no temp reference)
