Do you mean the courtesy lights? If so, yes, you can change it all.

Are you refering to the little red glow lights that shine down on the centre console which are located at the top, near the interior lights?

cheers

in 2008+ i believe they offer "ambient lighting" in the interior. i have tiny little led lights above my door handles and in my overhead console which gives a nice orange glow on the silver accents in the interior

This is part of my '06 530xi. I am not sure if it is a package item or standard. I haven't thought of whether to change. Which colours do you have in mind?

Mini has the same thing except that you can cycle between colours at the push of a button

The little side mirror lights are called "puddle lamps". Makes me want to pet something cute for some reason.
