hi i has started to change my interior leds from orange to white. iv changed the climate control, heat seat and light unit.
i have left the engine start button. has anyone disconnected this button? is it safe if the battery is disconnected?
i will get pics up asap. just need to change door lock button and window switches and drive lights.
im also carbon wraping the interior parts just waiting for a delivery.

My Ride: 2006 520d - 19" 172s- Remapped - LCI taillights V6 cables - LCI xenon headlights - Denison 500 with BTA1500 - led interior lights - OEM led number plate lights
Planned mods:
Folding mirrors - Modmynav kit - High gloss shadowline trim -
Looks so much better - was it as simple as just changing the bulbs or did you have to do soldering like the cluster mod?
