E53 trunk luggage compartment bulbs

Post by AW8 » Thu Oct 23, 2014 5:15 pm

Bought a pair of led pan type ones a while back and they are useless - one died & the other flickers & faint.

Can anyone give me a link to ......

1. OE replacement ( research online directs me to 38mm festoon bulbs but the connector looks like it needs a flat bulb connection).

2. An aftermarket LED pair - error free that actually work and last more than a few months.


Unless I see a food review of sensible price led pair I am leaning to OE

A bit embarrassed I can't remember which bulbs are needed.

Want to order these up ASAP so replies appreciated.

REALOEM has the BMW LED kits if you want them.
