Full LED-Lighting Makeover finished

Today I finished my Full LED Makeover on my 750Li. I am really happy with the way everything turned out.

The list includes:

Full interior LED, I ordered them from a power seller on EBAY. I replaced the overheads, footwells, vanity's, doors, glovebox, trunk.

License Plate- I opted to go non-led for my rear plate since license plate led's tend to shine too blue for my taste. I used Super White B1 Hybrid halogens and they are a clean white.

Fog Lamps: After searching on this forum I decided to go with 55w Mtec 4,750k 9006 Halogens. The result is great, they match pretty well with the OEM HID's.

Angel Eyes - On my E60 I had LED's from Ijdmtoy and I really like them so I decided to order a new set from them for my E66 and I must say their new LED's look great! they came out brighter then I expected and shine a nice white hue that matches the rest of the front end lighting.

In conclusion I would say it is a great upgrade to our E65/66, it definitely modernizes the look of the car.

Looks great! Where did you purchase the fogs & for how much? Did you do the install? Did install really require having to drop the front bumper to access the fogs?

Mdot...... Looks nice!
I also did the same will post some pictures later.
I was having trouble with my interior lights. I bought some error free led but they over heated and separated into two pieces.
What brand led's did you purchase? Was it a led kit?

I ordered MTEC Cosmos Blue 4,750k 9006 Bulbs from Amazon. The seller had them on sale for $14! So it was a no brainer. I had the shop do my fogs when they installed my Angel Eyes so they dropped the bumper to get in. Although i have found many threads on here explaining how to install fogs without dropping the bumper.

I just removed my stock bulbs and found out what sizes i needed then ordered them on ebay. Research on this forum explained that you do not need error-free bulbs for the interior. On my porsche cayenne i used error free bulbs and they were always more of a headache. They would flicker and burn out constantly. So far the T10's, 40mm,and 44mm LED's i ordered on ebay have been great and the whole kit cost me less than $40.

Looking good man! Personally, I like the ambiance that the orange lights give to the interior but the LED's definitely fit your car well.

To those wondering how to install angel eyes, look here: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=360922

You do have to remove the bumper if your car is 06+ but I just recently did it and it is not hard at all as long as you have the proper tools and have a little bit of patience
