leds are very give very directional light so if you are using them for a light fitting that relies on the reflector alot you need to get ones with leds that shine out the sides if they dont need a reflector so much you can use the ones that are in a flat arrangement

for the back interior door lights that come on when you open the door you want a bulb like this because it has leds on the sides so will use the large reflector to light up the car nicely

for the back reading lights you should use these because they will direct the light better and dont need a good reflector

you can use the same thinking for your other lights eg: brake lights/reverse lights

5 LED T10 is just like the 9 LED just with less LED's on sides.. I edited previous post with 5 LED & another set of 4 LED's

I dont under stand what you mean for the front interior door lights & interior reading lights.


My car has the light on the roof in the front in the middle that takes 2 x 36mm Bulbs, it has no reflectors in there..
and my 2 rear lights take the T10 type bulbs..

 

[moranor@axis]

my middle light takes one T10 bulb with a big reflector behind it will edit it so it can amke more sense i guess the back interior lights are the same for all?

 

[andrewbuch]

Cool, weird how different year models have different fittings..

Does your interior front light have the centre section & then the 2 small circles (Map Lights) cause mine just has the centre section..

Good to know as now I know to ask guys to check their bulbs first.. before I order.

 

[moranor@axis]

"centre section & then the 2 small circles" sounds right to me
thought yours looked a bit weird in the pic...

 

[andrewbuch]

guess whoever ordered my car from BMW said give me a 318i basic model, I do not want any extras at all.

 

[moranor@axis]

surely it cost bmw more to make these parts than it would cost to make them all the same?

 

[andrewbuch]

think yours might be exclusive pack or something.. Mine seriously has no extras except leather

Have had the bulbs in my car today (Parks & Numberplate) And not once did it throw an error.

Took some more photies

Number Plate:

Parks

Parks with Osram night breakers (The parks are white But compared to the night breakers it looks slight blue, but when I had it in my moms car this morning with xenons its white)

@ andrewbuch - Do your numberplate light covers have a black piece in the middle?

how many LEDs is your numberplate globes?

 

[moranor@axis]

the numberplate lights seem to blur your numberplate is that legal

@ andrewbuch - Do your numberplate light covers have a black piece in the middle?

My car did have those black coverings, Did not know what they were for so sanded them away

Each bulb has 3 SMD LED's so its 6 in total

the numberplate lights seem to blur your numberplate is that legal

Its a handy feature

And I just noticed one again my camera picked the bulbs up bluer than they look with the eye
