these do look best for the boot light and the rear seat 'map-reading' lights (the ones that don't come on automatically ) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-x-ERROR-FREE-C...2324352a6c because of the way they throw the light out rather than up

the original http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10X-T10-8-SMD-50...0948161354 that sparked a frenzy (I bought some ) are indeed excellent for the centre lights (above gearstick) because they throw the light mostly "up" i.e. down

then for the puddle lamps (x4) it depends just how brightly you want your puddles illuminated! the original suit me fine

Nice one, I think I'll give them a try as I only bought ten not realising the sport has more lights than the M1.
I'm short of the rear courtesy lights and n/s rear door.

Quick, easy and cheap mod

just done mine from the original link and they look really good, bright enough and still look classy

Anyone attempted replacing the side light bulb, If so did you use the same type of led or is a more powerful one required?
Just watched a YouTube video on removing the headlamp unit and it looked fairly easy.

used a Tower style 501 bulb and it looks spot on and matches the main xenon bulb

When you say the side light do you mean the light that is in the main lights in the lower corner? 91 BMW 850CSI

Yes.

Where are the ones located that turn corners on the adaptive models?

Anyone got a tried and tested side light led ebay link?

Have these fitted to front side lights and number plate lights. All the rest of the lights inside the car can be error free or non resisted as they won't throw up bulb failure errors. Item eBay Item No. 181005132330 are plenty good enough for inside the car, you'll need 8 for courtesy lights, 10 if you have rear map lights connected to doors. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈

Yep. 4 resisted will do side lights at front and number plate. The front does give off a blue/ white light similar to headlights which is look I was after too 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

Do you have any photos of the sidelights fitted an illuminated on your car?
I'm watching that listing at the moment but unsure how they look when lit.

Cheers
