    LEDs in Pre LCI housing question.

    I have a 2002, and therefore pre LCI m3, and am wanting to replace the standard incandescent bulbs with LEDs (with coding) as a kinda modern retrofit, and ran into a problem

    My plan was to use Sylvania Zevo bulbs.The outer tail lights and reverse are 1156 bulbs which I can get Zevo red and white bulbs fine. The turn lights are 7507 which there is a Zevo bulb. But The inner tail light bulbs are 7225 dual filament bulbs, and I cannot get an equivalent Zevo bulb in red. So, was wondering what my options are, other then leaving the inner bulbs white incandescent with the LED outer bulbs. Is there a decent red 7225 led out there?

    Very minor concern, but a small upgrade I wanted to do since I got the car.

    And I know I could retrofit the LCI lights in, but I actually prefer the look of the Pre LCI housings.

    Thanks.

      Tail lights, climate control panel, trunk handle, probably more small things.

        why not save yourself the hassle and get LCI tail lights? theyre not that expensive and most all cars can be coded to work. BMW even sells a retrofit harness

          MK60 ABS unit is probably the most significant change

            MK60 was not a facelift change, but a 09/02 change, facelift is 03/03 and up

              Yep I've got one of those rare pre-LCI MK60 cars. Just missed the fancy tails.
