Review on X AUTOHAUX 21pcs Canbus White Car LED Light Interior Kit for BMW E46 Sedan Coupe M3 1999-2005 – Enhance Your Vehicle's Lighting by Chris Spoja

Revainrating 1 out of 5

A little disappointed (Update - very disappointed)

I was excited to try LEDs on my e46. The bulbs came all together in one box, the packaging isn't the best but seems adequate. The real disappointment was the colour, they were too bright with a blue cast and my family agrees that the original yellow bulbs were more inviting. This made the colors in the car look dull and the yellow bulbs had a good contrast. If that's the color you want, then by all means go for it. The lamps were also not bright enough to adequately illuminate the interior like the original lamps. In the end I put all the original bulbs back in. The only place I kept lightbulbs was in the license plate light. The LEDs look great, as do license plate lights. I ended up with only 2 of the 21 lightbulbs. I may be returning them soon but I love the look of the license plate. A final note to point out is the fact that the wedge bulbs got insanely hot after a few minutes which was a problem. They don't appear to have a heatsink like a garland. (UPDATE) The license plate light started flickering after a week and it looks like the radiator just came off due to the heat. I think I'll stick with branded LEDs.
