Mirror Lights

Post by j2d » Wed Jan 25, 2012 10:46 pm

Will these LEDs fit in my E53 X5 mirrors?

If they won't, has anybody got any suggestions on a good LED replacement?

the light may be a focussed beam as opposed to flooding, as most LEDs are, and the shape of this bulb suggests.

not sure about the fit itself, realoem may be able to help figure out the holder.

Pretty sure not, you need the ones with a big round end (tech desc.).As above the light when i changed mine was useless, a pencil beam so i changed back to stock.
I have the led ones if you want to try them, just for the postage cost.
