Hello

Just godt my 2012 xDrive 40d and found the ambient lightning in the door pockets very weak. A search on the internet confirmed that this is how it is intended !?

I have ordered some brighter diodes in the exact same color, and been experimenting with resistors to get the right ilumination



Now I have found the wanted level of light and are just waiting for the sun to disappear



More pictures to come

Best regards

Great work, please share your findings
This was one of my first observations, I played with options though clearly with not enough passion
Would love to brighten up in time for Autumn

Hi

I found some 11.0000 MCD diodes on Ebay.de and connected them via a 470ohm resistors it makes the perfect discret light

Great tip, thank you!

Might have accidentally ordered some too

Hi

Any reason not to use 12v LEDs, rather than having to wire in a resistor for lower voltage ones?

Thanks

A 12V LED will simply have resistors in line anyway.

Thanks

Do the replacement LEDs simply snap into the holder that connects to the plastic strip?
