Which kit fits your BMW Z4
Factory interior bulbs in these cars are dim and yellow, and they don't get brighter with age. This kit swaps them for LEDs that draw less power and last far longer, so you stop hunting for replacements every couple of years. You also get a choice of Red, WHITE, YELLOW, or PURPLE output, which lets you set the cabin mood without touching any wiring. It's a small change that makes the whole interior feel less dated.

Installing it
Pop the old lens covers off with a plastic trim tool, not a flathead screwdriver, so you don't scratch the plastic. LEDs are polarity-sensitive, so if one doesn't light, pull it and flip it 180 degrees. Work with the interior lights off and the battery disconnected if you're not comfortable pulling fuses.
- Pop the lens covers off. They clip in, and they come off with a firm pull. Start at one corner.
- Pull the old bulb out. Push the new LED in.
- Turn the light on. If it does not light up, pull it out and flip it 180 degrees. LEDs are polarity sensitive.
- Work through the remaining locations the same way, then re-seat any loose lens.
