Do you mean the puddle lights for our mirrors? It already has a few SMD LEDs from factory. Unless you wanna open it apart, solder more LEDs onto it.
y'all ever heard of "if it ain't broke..."

My Ride: I have an 05 545i. It's a manual with a few options. This is my first BMW but I don't know how I'll ever be able to switch to something else.

Unfortunately, you'll have to cut the plastic. 15 or 12 LED panels does not fit. Plus you want the maximum brightness anyway! I just took pliers and broke it off. It was quick. No need for crazy modding.
And then I decided to use it as a flashlight in my pitch black bedroom!

Thanks John. I just thought the other panels might be smaller and fit better. Great job BTW.

Nice, John...
You know what I was thinking about doing ..Changing all of the LEDS from orange to white inside the car.. Inside all buttoms and switches... I know its alot of work.. but i think it would look good..
