::Enchanced Trunk Lightning Mod::

nusevad · 04-20-2010, 10:36 PM

Hey guys, check out this new mod my friend made for me...I was pretty unhappy with the OEM lightning in the trunk, and the LED replacements on the market now arn't that much better because they also have the "blob" effect.

OEM:

So my friend came up with a solution that fit my needs....

Check this badboy out! No errors/codes No melting!!

The next few pictures were taken outside in the dark against the garage to show how much light it outputs, it pretty much lit up the driveway.

What do you guys think? I think this should be the OEM standard for trunk lightning.

damn thats bright. Any codes from the led?

MyE92 · 04-20-2010, 10:42 PM

Nice dave! be careful! I had LEDs in my trunk at one point, and it started to melt my housing, so I went back to the OEM bulbs.

MyE92 · 04-20-2010, 10:43 PM

Wait... maybe I didn't use LEDs, maybe they were just hyper white bulbs..

It's been awhile, I don't remember.

nusevad · 04-20-2010, 10:44 PM

No errors, no codes

This def. 100% will not melt anything....i can show u guys at the next meet.

yeh id do this for sure, spill the beans!

hsupeijan · 04-21-2010, 12:24 PM

I like it

nusevad · 04-21-2010, 01:15 PM

I didnt make the kit so i dont have a DIY for it, my friend who has the wiring/ electrical/sodering skills made it for me after he made one for his car.

If anyone is interested in a kit PM me and ill see if my buddy still have enough materials for more.

nusevad · 04-25-2010, 03:27 PM

My friend had enough to make 5 more sets, this applies to both e90 and e92. Plug and play, no errors, no burnouts, waterproof.

Here is a pic of what it looks like if you look from underneath, completely stealth from a standing point of view.

Best part thing is that the kit comes with OEM housing so if anyone has a lease or sells their car, the LED strip can be removed and go back to stock. Just don't lose your original OEM housing.

LED strip is held on with a 3m adhesive that is on the back of the strip, just peal off and stick.

Anyone interested plz PM me.

BoostedCosta · 04-25-2010, 03:32 PM

i have a feeling its pricey so idkl if i should even bother pming you lol

nusevad · 04-25-2010, 03:36 PM

its not more than what the current market price is for a LED replacement

tukukito · 04-25-2010, 08:57 PM

Thanks for the trunk lights. It's ridiculous how bright it is and setup couldn't be any easier. Convince your friend to do another run of these so I can get one for my Audi.

Snertz · 04-30-2010, 09:07 AM

Those look great, any chance you could get some closeups with the lights off?
