Those won't work for the domes. I have those bulbs under my door (courtesy lights) and they are nice and bright. Those also fit the sidemarker.

+1 the T10/168/194 bulbs work as mentioned above, however SMD LED lights are way better and brighter. I personally used the 9 SMD versions on my courtesy lights and the 5 SMD for my map lights and side markers (amber).
Bright as hell and cheap on Ebay. You have just to buy them from HK or China, but so cheap it really doesnt matter.

My Ride: SOLD...Jet Black 2008 550i M Sport with SAT, black interior. RPI exhaust and air scoop, 35% huper optik tint all around, CF roundels, flat black kidneys, Springfield Armory XD-40 jet black in glove box, charcoal filter removed.
Wait please clarify for me, what exactly do I need to get all my lights inside and under doors as bright and white as possible? Which bulbs and link to purchase them?

Search ebay for LED SMD. You need a variety of bulbs..... T10 (or 168) for under the doors (4ea.9-smd) and the map (2ea 5-smd) lights. 921 (2ea.) LED for both dome lights. Then the foot wells, glove box, vanity lights, and the trunk lights are all festoon bulbs. 37mm = footwells, glove box, and trunk, while the vanity lights are 44mm.
And you can buy 2 Amber colored T10's for your side marker lights if you'd like.
License plate lights are 31mm festoon LED SMD, it would get a 6-SMD version. You need 50ohm restitors ($1.99 at Radio Shack)if you change you license plate bulbs, or you'll get an error message.
You'd have to buy most of them seperately, but you can pretty much outfit your entire car for about $50 or so
Best way to takle it would be to check each of the different bulbs and make an inventory of what you need.
