Try ebay or one of our good vendors on here, like John @ motorconcepts or J Levi, etc.

I changed out all my interior lights and love it.

EBay. Find the sizes and get the bulbs individually, you can do the whole interior for under $20 easy, you can get tag light LEDs for 3 or 4 dollars too that won't give you any errors. You don't need any of those ridiculously expensive kits.

As Slyncka said, eBay is your best bet from an affordability standpoint and its really not that hard here's what I used.

2 x 44mm (festoon) SMD LED (for vanity lights)
5 x 39mm (festoon) SMD LED (for footwell, glove box and trunk)
4 x 9 SMD LED T10/168/194 (wedge) bulbs (for under doors)
2 x 5 SMD LED T10/168/194 (wedge) bulbs (map lights)
2 x 921 LED for main dome lights (wedge)

Presto....I think I did my whole car for like $50-60 (including side markers and license plates)

Perfect, these are the correct sizes. I even ordered a bunch of extras since they're so cheap. Gave my friend tag lights for his M3 too, work great.

Try your own bulbs from Ebay. I support our vendors but I think the price for interior LED kits is absurd. I paid all together $45 for mine. Here is a picture. I got white all around. This picture was taken when I was experimenting with colors/bulbs LOL.

+1 Id have to agree on supporting our vendors, as you can usually find the best stuff at good prices. However when it comes to LED lights, yes the mark up with all US vendors (both here and places like BavAuto, etc) are crazy!
