My Ride: Nov 2003 530D SE Auto in Mystic Blue with Grey Dakota Leather, Business Nav. Star Spoke 124 18"s, Blootooth Preperation.
Modifications so far: M5 spoiler, M5 trunk finisher, hometronic rear view mirror, Maple Wood interior trim.
Mods to come: M5 style quad exhaust and M5 rear bumper, Dechroming, black ebay grilles, tints, upgrade to factory amp, by the time I've done these, I'm sure I'll have thought of some more....
managed to order just about everything needed for whiter lighting and to get rid of the dirty yellow standard lighting around the car, all from ultraleds.co.uk
3 x U36W18 (239) 36 -39mm Cool White Dome Light (18 Leds) (Vt Regula () = ?24.69 (for glovebox and rear numberplate)
2 x 5013W (501) White 3 Leds Super Wide Angle 130' () = ?5.88 (for the puddle lights at the base of the front doors)
1 x U4218W (264) 42 mm Bright Cool White Dome Light (18 Leds) Volt R () = ?8.23 (for the boot)
2 X U31W1 (269) 31- 35mm Ultra Bright 1W Xenon White Dome Festoon Po = ?8.22 (For the front & rear interior light)
1 X Ultraleds Light Tower 20 Super Wide Angle Leds Amber 382 (Pair) = ?18.80 (for the rear turn signals)
2 X (382) 15mm Baynet 24 Red Led Single Contact Custom WA Ver = ?14.10 (for the rear fogs)
2 X (382) 15mm Baynet 30 White Led Single Filament + Custom Enhance = ?19.98 (for the reverse lights)
Total UK?94.02 + ?3 shipping + ?16.98 tax = total UK?114
thats about US$213 worth of little bulbs! bit silly I guess, specially when ive still got to fork out more for some resistors.
will post pics of them fitted soon (cars currently getting m5 kit fitted to it at mstyle in romford, uk), the numberplate leds look a bit different than others whove posted pics here of led lights, since i have the trunk finisher it makes a different effect,
even though i have the car-gym.com led tail lights, 3 of the bulbs in them are still normal non-led bulbs (bit disappointed about that really, should really be a totally led taillight), so im trying to make up for that a bit by using led type bulbs in the normal housings.

The U31W1 (269) 31- 35mm Ultra Bright 1W Xenon White Dome Festoon Po bulbs are totally different from my interior bulbs.
Mine are more like these http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/default.php?cPath=44_65 but bigger.
Anyone know where we can get LED interior bulbs for the E60??
Cheers
Marc
