Has anyone successfully mounted one of these "ghetto tape" dome light panels - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

Dark_Knight_335 · 04-14-2012, 12:11 PM

On their 2011 E92 or E93? There seems to be no way to stick it on to anything in the housing -any ideas or DIY? This dome light panel may be the solution to my dome going out 30 seconds into being on , but it's a wire that plugs into the socket and then has double sided tape. I guess I could try to rest the panel somehow onto the lens, but that seems like a bad idea for a multitude of reasons.

Does anyone have a LED dome light solution that doesn't go out immediately after turning it on with a 2011+ E92??

Sure, it is in my for sale thread for led lights recently - is the LED panel in the foreground with the double-sided roll of ghetto tape

E93 and E92 are different.

The e93 has a non opaque cover and a different size dome light. If they were the same you could have used these:

Try some fresh double sided tape.

The tape that comes with the HPB kit is high temp double sided tape (just an fyi). Its actually expensive stuff.

I know, it sucks Jeff...because I think that replacement LED panel may have done the trick. There is just no place to mount it in that damn E93 dome
