Hello all!

New here! I've owned my 07 M3 GT for just under a year now and absoulty love it. I've got the factory HID/Bose/ and LED tails. Now....about 6 months ago I ordered some LED replacement light bulbs for the License Plate and Interior. They're fine but could be better and brighter! I'm looking for some brighter LED 194 bulbs to replace the others. And does anyone have the parking/turn and rear turn lamps changed to LED as well. Just wondering if I'm going to have to use a load resistor for the turn signals. Looking at making the reverse lamps LED as well. Should be a real nice touch to a great car.

Here's another, the side marker LED can be replaced w/ the clear lens 3 led kit and also the 3rd tail light I'd like to change to LED.
Here's a good link!

Any help on the subject would be greatly appriceated

I can help you out.. The type of license plate lights you want are below. They are brighter than those found on the new Lexus:

Make sure you order the one with the heatsink at the very bottom of this page

For your front turn signals, you will need these below with load resistors. I use them in my truck and they work well, even during the day:

24 High Powered Wide Angle SMT LEDS

They also have a combo White/Amber towards the bottom although its not as bright.

For the reverse lights, you can forget it. The reverse light is angled into the housing. Your only real option is to pop out the actual light assemblies, cut out the back with a dremel and mount square high powered LED boards, than reseal the piece you cut off.

Hope that helps.
