I was able to install most of the xenon interior bulbs on my e90 based on the bimmian website video tutorial. The tutorial was based on the e46 though. The only one i couldn't remove was the front central dome light containing the buttons for bmw assist and the passenger air bag. The e46 did not have these buttons. Does anyone know how to remove this dome so i can insert my xenons? Thanks. |

[QUOTE=mds82]bmw330e90 can you write up a small DIY?
I took some pictures today. Regular head screwdriver from the car tool kit works fine. -To remove center (rear) dome light simply grab the edge of the console as shown at the picture and pull it down at 45 degree angle. -To remove front dome light you need to push 2 clips behind the reading lights. You can also find more pictures how to remove the front dome light here:dome -To remove the light inside the trunk just push the screwdriver (1) and pull the light down (2) -To remove plate number light, first insert screwdriver in to the opening on the left and push all light to the right, same time try to pull left side of the light -To remove Vanity light just insert screwdriver and pull it down Follow the same procedure for rest of the lights |

I'm just not a fan of mods that don't increase performance and don't make the car nicer IMO
the only time you'd ever even notice is when you're entering or exiting your car at night, (which I'd imagine is a minority of the time for most) it's a cheeseball mod that plays of the "coolness" of having xenon headlights (which are real xenons by the way) Curmudgeon may be true, but my car's not full of "trendy" aftermarket items of questionable quality |

Well, if you feel that way, it's all good. I'm also not a big fan of aesthetic mods but the interior lights may have quite a difference. Like said earlier, it's not the issue of brightness, but the color of the light emitted.
I personally like to read things under a white/near-white light relative to typical yellowish/incandescent lights. |

I'm kind of a anti mod guy in general but I hope people have the intestinal fortutude to do whatever they want even if some bitter guy is telling them it's stupid.
It's not my money, not my car have a great time! :rocks: |

Not the small ones on in our cars though. He was quite interested in how they arc up, and wanted to know what if there was a mechanism to prolong bulb life by preventing them from being flashed on an off quickly...

These xenon interior lights give off the "xenon" look, not the actual visibility of a xenon charged light. It is simply whitish-blue filament bulb.

Am I the only one that absolutely loves the ambient lighting in BMW's? Very subtle and very nice. The ones in the 760Li are even hotter.

I ordered some of those xenons for the inside of the car yesterday. They should be here on Friday. Btw, thanks for the tips on how to remove the front and back light consoles. I'll tell you guys what my opinion is after the new bulbs are in. I have the suspicion that the inside will look sophisticated. Right now the lighting is very subtle. We'll see.
