Sonic Tuning S2 E90 Interior LED Kit
After much debate about interior LED kits I decided to go with Sonic Tuning's kit. First off let me say that I took pictures at night of the kit and it does not do it justice at all. I have a point & shoot which does not give me the ability to take worthy pics of this kit in action. (Edit: added night time pics)
With that said I highly recommend this kit. My car was produced in 11/07 which means it happens to be very sensitive when it comes to lighting changes. This kit is ERROR FREE, does not blink what so ever, and even dims like the stock halogen bulbs. I installed the kit in the afternoon and when I first saw it I was kinda disappointed cause it did not seem that bright. However when I got in the car that night... that opinion quickly changed. The kit lights up the car amazingly. The kit has an nice white/blue tint to it which is very bright... almost too bright. The kit was easy to install and I followed the bellow DIY to the tee. YES... you must disconnect the glovebox bulb completely otherwise you will blow a fuse. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=273231 The only negative thing about the kit is the map lights. They seem to be just a bit too long and are not angled to line up with lenses in the panels (pics below). But they still give out more light than the stock halogens. Despite that issue I still think this kit is worth the money. Also when I received the kit I had a few questions about which bulbs where supposed to go where and Jose replied quickly and was very helpful.

There is a plastic cover that covers that light. So you won't see the LED panel nor the wires. I just left it off when I took the pics.

great write up
i installed mine a couple weeks ago and i echo everything you said, i had initially put the wrong bulbs in the door lights, but then figured them all out, easy to install, i didnt even post pix of mine because they do not do them justice, at night when you unlock the car, it looks like a rave fired up inside the cabin of the car. Great kit and great price

And since the insert with the housing is angled you need something close to the cover. We are working on an angled base LED with canbus system right now. |

Hey OP, I just installed that same kit. The only problem I had was the driver footwell lights. The housing was not the same as the passenger side's. The housing was actually the same as the door courtesy light's housing. This actually caused a problem because the bulb designated as the footwell lights are too long and it doesn't turn to lock into place. Was wondering if you had the same problem? or I just had a weird housing.
