i just received my bulbs yesterday. thanks dan! can't wait to install!
i do have a question though, what bulbs are being replaced?
1pc main dome light
2pcs door puddle lights
2pcs footwell lights
2pcs map lights
1pc trunk light
that totals to eight bulbs, where does the ninth one go? Can't be the vanity lights as theres 4 bulbs total for both sides. Am i missing something?

Do the LED lights slowly dim like the regular bulbs? I had a set of LED interior lights a few years ago and they didn't dim they just went out... Please let me know they look really great in your pictures. I'd like to install the blue with white maps...and possibly white puddle lights... Thanks Paul

I ordered the 07 Budget blue with white maps. Although I believe I got all blue. Okay, I found which one goes into glove.
There are 5 bulbs that have a blue base. Three have led's on all sides and top. Where do they go?
Two blue bases have the led's on top, where should I put them?
There are 3 bulbs with clear base, ?.
Three of them have

We don't have this thing for the R56 (yet):
But we do have normal bulbs, which work pretty well. The panel above is the brightest solution for a dome lamp, but a five-way high-output bulb isn't bad, and that's what we use for the R56. We use bulbs in all other locations in both cars -- the dome light in the R50/R53 is the only one that gets the item pictured above.

I'm interested in red for amateur astronomy star parties. It is very bad form to open your car door and have white lights destroy everyone's night vision.
I'm a little concerned that they may be too bright. It sounds like the LEDs are brighter than the OEM lights, is that right? Any way to dim them?

Are you working on getting LEDs for the dome?

Soon.
The panel is probably 2x the brightness.

How much difference is there between the panel LED and the regular LED Dome?

Okay. Some of the bulbs I received have clear plugs and some have blue plastic flanges on the plugs. Which ones go where? Also, I assumed that the long bulb was for the dome light. But I put in the dome light this morning (didn't have time to do them all) and it is one of the small push-in bulbs. Where does the cylindrical bulb go?
Dome light looked very cool. Can't wait to see it in the dark!

There should be two wedge bulbs that have 6 LEDs, this should go in the map light.
The rest of the wedge bulbs that have 1 LED and 4 LEDs on the sides go in the footwell, door puddle lights, and glove box or trunk
