BMW LED door sill plates
Ordered the LED doors sills from bmw and got them today, unfortunately there were only one door sill in the package…..but this is how they.. or the one looks like, in the photo the plate are a bit blue but this is just the photo, they are LED white IRL and honestly locks kind of tacky and plastic, I’m not shure I will change them from the M-plates I have now. Maybe the m-performance in LED looks better but it kind of sucks to have those doors sills when you don’t have an m-performance car…. Anybody have the M LEDs installed and want to share a picture?

They're supposed to come in a pair since they cost $240 each (but if this means each for one piece then that's a total ripoff).

These seem to be made in China or something. I was just showing them as reference as to how stock BMW sills will light up in a similar way. I actually found this video after my friend had the idea to modify my stock ones to illuminate. This is another video I just found:

They are supposed to come in pairs but i guess someone or the packing machine screwed up at the factory or something, the box was fully incased in retail plastic so it’s kind of strange, but this gives me a opportunity to get my money back, paid about 230 euros and for that money you should expect top notch quality and design i mean how hard can it be, I’ll see how i turns out for opasha and maybe do something similar!

I ordered and two came in a package, on the side of the box it is written there are 2 pieces. Will post instructions that came in a box soon. I still cannot make them work (did not try a lot though).

pdf instructions that came in the box
They both lit up when opened the box, do not work since, need to know where the part D+E should go and how do I glue part D+E to the door...
Hassle and they do not look as good as I thought. The box you have pictured should contain two as even the package is made for two (check the side of the box + there are additional holes for the second one from your picture). Your box looks same as mine. |

I'm pretty darn sure he got the regular. You can tell from his box outside image and from his instructions.

They work fine, D and E have to glued (take of the sticker and glue to the door panel near lower light not the metal bit). Do I like them? Yeah, very much so, once they lit up its a nice touch. Would I do it again? Yes.
