Default Putco LED's back in stock / installed

2005 545i

I find the USA made Putco LED's to be the best available for interior and some exterior applications.

I purchased them here: etrailer.com - BMW Lights Products putco

I used the OEM lens, and simply used festoon style Putco LED's to replace the OEM festoon style bulbs in the footwells, trunk and license plate areas:

Here are the OEM vs Putco results:
