    LED Glove Box Light Replacement Bulb

    Found this Cree E10 base LED bulb for the removable glove box light. Nice little $10 mod. Quite a difference in light compared to the incandescent bulb that comes stock.

    Cool! Is the lens easy to remove? I've never tried.

    Lens pops right off. Bulb simply unscrews. Total job start to finish is about 3 minutes including walking out to the garage...

    Pretty nice

    What were all those other guides with all that retrofitting work? Battery change?

    Great timing. I just bought LED's last week on ebay to try to update mine (and on my 745i) but they didn't work. And yes, bulbs just unscrew. I'm ordering these now. Thanks!

    and I see the ones that worked for you are not polarity specific - will work either way. Great news. The one's I bought that didn't work (actually Amazon not eBay) had a positive at the base. Can't wait to try em!

    Overboost's eBay purchase was the first actual LED replacement to update the flashlight I'd come across - which is what got me excited since I've been hunting

    Does the Khoalty kit include this flashlight bulb? Didn't see that mentioned.

    Yes - battery change. There are some outfits that are selling the older white flashlights (E23/24/28/30) with battery upgrades for $$$. I'm not sure when the flashlight terminal bases changed from plugs to prongs or visa versa.

    This is what the description says:
    Kit (1 dome light 2 reading lights 2 foot wells 1 glove box light 2 vanity lights 4 rear lights in back seat 2 festoon in trunk)
    I don't know if the glove box light is the flash light or the light that turns on when you open it (does it have one of those? i can't remember atm...)
