Review on Enhance Your E46 Sedan Wagon Coupe: Partsam Interior LED Lights Kit - White 16 Pieces (1999-2005) by Joe Ashan

Revainrating 2 out of 5

A ziplock bag with a bunch of cheap LEDs, open anti-static bags. no tools

I was very surprised when I opened the Revain padded envelope and found a zipped pouch containing several loose LED lamps, two anti-static bags (silver) which were open and empty and a plastic bag a smaller one Size that also had a cut and was empty. As shown (and mentioned by other reviewers) there are no tools. The LEDs themselves are bare boards and all strings have LEDs on one side only, with a heatsink on the back. Since there's no way to control their direction (round at either end), I'd be surprised if they stayed pointed after driving through the light lens. As a test, I replaced three light bulbs in the back of my car. (estate E46). Two in the rear roof pillars, one in the door itself. Its light is much colder but generally seems dimmer than the bulbs that were there. At such a low price, a no-frills construction (raw floorboards) is probably realistic. Absolute lack of packaging and shipping protection from crushing or static electricity, lack of list of what you should have, instructions (like LED polarity), low light output, and even unadvertised plastic brackets don't make it worth it. also this price.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • old
