    R36 replacement lights

    Hey guys.
    Looking to replace any yellow light bulbs in my car over to white led's where possible.

    Plenty of options for number plates, I've found one site with a complete interior kit, but i can't find much on the side mirror down light and nothing on the yellow park lights up front.




    Has anyone changed over the parkers? if so please let me know what i need to get.

    Also, if anyone has has good experience with a particular seller (for any of the light fitments) let me know.

    Cheers

    Just to update this thread, I've replaced my front parking lamps to these LED and reverse lamps to a CREE LED.

    Throw some pics in mate. I am sure there would be quite a few interested in mirror & reverse light LED upgrades. Hopefully they do not throw any errors.

    These LED worked like a charm!

    The puddle LED wasn't bright enough for me, might put this elsewhere in the dome.

    Those CREE LED's really are bright. I supposed due to the projector like lens, it works a treat at reversing into my dark carpark.
    I'm still waiting for my LED turn signals to turn up.

    Revivor, does the reverse LED actually project the light further into the distance. I also changed my reverse light to LED and all it does is makes the actual housing area brighter but when reversing at night it pretty much does nothing..... Looks cool when installed over the normal bulb though!

    You can see the circular projection at the back but I don't know how far is far

    Its bright enough to see things at the back of the car where as my licence plate LED lights up the rear bottom of the car during reversing.
    I definitely see an improvement over the stock bulb.
