Alright so I've had a couple requests to put together an interior white led kit. Would you guys pay $140 shipped for it? It would be the following 19 bulbs:

2 - Vanity Mirror Lights
2 - Inside Trunk
1 - Driver Footwell
1 - Passenger Footwell
1 - Glovebox
4 - Step/Courtesy Light
6 - Map Light Front/Rear
2 - Trunk Lid/License Plate

The bulbs would all be high quality like the trunk lid/license plate bulbs with no error codes. I know another company sells for $70 but the brightness and quality of the bulbs aren't as good as mine. Also reading over their bulb lists and pictures, it doesn't seem like their kit is for our car.

I was selling the Trunk Lid/License Plate bulbs at $25 shipped for a pair so for 19 of them it would be $237.50, a $90 discount.

Those who answer know, how much would you be willing to pay? Please be realistic.

Let me know. If I get enough interest I'll get something going.

IMHO, white leds for the interior kinda ruins the stock ambiance lighting (if you have premium package). Notice that bmw uses dim yellow and amber lighting effect all throughout the interior from the gauges to the dash buttons to the leds to set a soothing relaxed mood. White leds are nice because it makes everything brighter and whiter but i wouldn't put them to replace the stock ambiance. Just my .02 cents. If you like it then non of these matters.

$140 seems kind of steep for some replacement lights, so I voted no even though I spent $25+ for LED license plate lights.

I'd vote no if it's not brighter than stock.

Here are a few pictures of what the interior LED lights will look like:

Also, Bavarian Auto Works sells a package of 24 LED interior bulbs for our cars:

Note, I'm not sure if these will work or not, but if you're really interested, contact them for confirmation.
