Interior "xenon" kit problem

Ok these are bimmian leds.

My problem is that those that are at back in that center piece and those in front that should give light to leg department aren't working. Those leg lights did work previosly. And those one in back also before I did try to install these xenon bulbs there.

Those in my trunk, glovebox and in front (center, up thing what ever that is called?) reading lights and that one in middle of those reading lights they work.

I tryed to change those bulbs with new and back to originals but those won't start to work. I also checked the fuses and those did look like they was ok, but I am not sure which fuses control those areas that aint working, somebody know that?

Any another things to do that you can think of?

And shouldn't those lights start after I open door (no need of pushing start bultton once or twice)?

Are you saying that when you changed the xenon lights that weren't working back to the OEM lights that the OEM lights didn't work either?

If that's the case then I would say you probably blew a fuse. Take a look in your owner's manual for fuse placement/chart. I would for you but I don't have accesss to my cat at the moment.

Yes that is what I am saying.

I did check 3 or 4 fuses but they looked like they was ok (not 100% sure). In my car there is only this fuse"map" with icons no explanation which is which so it's bit hard to know which one is the right one.

Also do we have spare fuses in my car I could not find any?

Unsure as to whether or not there are spare fuses with the car. Are you sure the lights you have are correct for the e93.

I just took a look at the Bimmian DIY section and they have no instructions for e93 fitment of the bulbs ......

Maybe someone else could chime in here ......

I am sure I had to order those back bulbs separetly.

I looked also there and realised same as you.

Hopefully somebody knows which fuse(or fuses) are correct one to change. Of course it could be identified if somebody would try to take out one of those fuses that is most likelly correct and see if those light go out.

So I bought new fuses and changed fuses: 77,07,62,74. That didn't solve the problem.

It would be very helpful if somebody could test in own car which fuse controls (mainly those that I tested) those lights that are my problem that way I could identify the problem.

Here is scans (thanks to original scanner) of your fuse list

Not sure what polarity means, but I tested those trouble spots with oem bulbs and those didn't work.

Tomorrow I will test again with oem bulbs because now I have changed those fuses.

polarity means the negative and the positive part of the bulbs are match basically flip them around. and plug them back in. because when u change ur bulbs u might have put in the bulbs "backwards"

try flipping them. when u put ur oem bulbs back in they might have been on the wrong polarity also therefore they dont work either. give it a shot...

No go.

Still waiting for somebody to confirm which fuse(s) controls those trouble spots. Anybody, please?
