Default Xenon Dome Lights

Has anyone upgraded the dome or any interior lights to Xenon? My friend's 325i has more bright and white lights and I love em. What kind are they? Seems upgrading to Xenon is relatively inexpensive. Please give your opinion/experiences.

Thanks

Where did you buy them from? Whats the part #? How easy/difficult was the installation? Anything else that a newbie should know?

Thanks,

How bright is it? It's not like a stadium at night I hope Kind of reminds me of when kids around here use to roll with bright *** neon lights inside the car. That has to do wonders for your night vision regardless of what kind of headlights you have. I personally, would like to swap out the lights located at the bottom of the doors. Hell, If that goes well I might do the dome too

I changed all my dome lights, the passenger row and the cargo area to them super whites, it looks much cleaner the white and its nice. Pretty simple to change, just pop off the plastic covering and swap bulbs, thats all. The front Map light, i tried that but no luck. I have no idea how to pry that off. any help on that one would be great.

I also changed my license lights to super whites and they are much nicer. pretty much same, just unscrew and pop off the plastic then swap bulbs and put back on.

i dont remember the size exactly right no but they are exactly how it looks on that website you gave, the dome lights. good luck and have fun =)

Thats a good idea, I forgot about the lights on the door that light up the ground. It would be nice to have brigher lights there.

I have blue door lights, superwhite dome lights, and blue licenseplate bulbs. Looks Good
The door lights are the 194,168 size. so are the license plate bulbs. The dome lights are small. Not sure on size.

i got super white xenons too!

love them and I replaced every stock white bulb with them. Lic light, door, roof, reverse, corner, etc. Looks way better. Get them off ebay they are much much cheaper. And you can get deals when you buy a whole set like that.

Question

Are the xenon lights you guys are installing crystal clear or do they have a blue tint to them? Also, are you guys going with the polargs or raybrigs?

Thanks for the help!
