R36 LED conversion

[Ich bin ein Berliner]

Is there anybody that sells a complete exterior package of LED's for the R36, it is such a minefield trying to pick which ones to get, would be so much easier to just buy them all in one go, I have seen the interior package but not exterior, anybody know anyone?

You might like to give Blingwork Automotive Lighting a try. I'm not sure about pre-packaged kits, but I was very happy with the cost and shipping for new cornering lamps and parkers from them.

To tell you the truth mate, you are dancing with death buying a package mate. I have been through all this on my R36 and believe me, there are differences depending on the year of your car. Best bet is to have a look at what bulbs you have and buy them separately that way. This is also applies for interior LED's as well. You will then be confident that you have the correct bulb. I have started threads on all of the exterior/interior bulbs that I have done, but it is different to others so be careful if you decide to buy a package. There are also links to the stuff that I have bought as well. Aliexpress is the go to for buying them. Ebay has certain good specials too but it is a matter of looking around.

As snerlo says - I did the same and bought a B6 package for my car. They arrived, with three festoon bulbs. I only have one festoon in total and none of the ones sent were the right size. The others I have been able to use (a real bugger in the front reading lights but managed to get them in) and I used two for the number plate lights (which worked fine although perhaps are a bit too bright for my liking so I may play around with these. So, far better to check first what you actually need as, per other comments, they did seem to change a fair bit through the life of the car and there are no guarantees.

I also ran into the same issues as both Snerlo and Slipshot have mentioned. I bought licence plate lights off ebay that were not the right size, due to there being a change in both the size and connections of the assembly throughout different year models. Mine being a 2009 (MY10) made this all a little bit harder. My interior lights I bought as a kit, but were missing the 2 vanity lights.

You are much better off having a look, figuring out what you need and going from there. Someone above mentioned Blingwork Automotive, these guys were VERY helpful for me. I sent them an email and they were more than willing to find me part numbers etc. and also happy to trial and error with me, including returns at no cost if necessary, so that the licence plate lights I got from them were correct.

I would also advise looking at snerlo's posts, these helped me immensely throughout the process.

i a accidentally bought non canbus versions so as soon as i put them in they flashed and got turned off. i ended up putting them in my wifes golf as headlights and the are really quite bright (but they stay on with the bulb out warning)

I used these
OSRAM Cool Blue Hyper H7 (Twin) | PowerBulbs

Not LED, but very happy with the close colour temp match with the rest of my front end (LED perkers, LED turn/DRLupgrade and 6000K HIDs). And they perform normally with fade etc which LEDs won't.
