It comes with a trunk bulb. But the bulb is realllly faint. I need to take another look as I suspect a fitment issue.

My trunk bulb was the brightest one of the whole kit.

Did you shave down the plastic peg/post inside the lens?

I didn't, but see where it could be shaved down. I just angled it away from the post and put the sliding cover back on.

Just installed this kit - thanks for the recommendation, came out great. Easy install - hint, make sure you dislodge the dome housing from the roof instead of trying to get your fingers into the hole, it's much easier and less chance to break things (I broke one of the bulb housing plastic pieces trying to get the LED in, it's a tighter fit with the LEDs).

I do wish it came with floorwell LEDs for the rear though.

If you send them a message, rear footwell LEDs will arrive in a few days time.

The courtesy light on the bottom of each door panel is included, but the ambient ambers are not.

Ambient light brightens when the gauge lighting is increased. Press the up down buttons on the left stalk to crank up your interior lighting, but they don't ever get particularly bright.

I've not posted on this forum and no mean to do any advertisement here either. But I was reference to this thread by one of the member and we really appreciate the business M3post members have given us.

We are going to reach out to M3post forum admin and find a way to become forum vendor and bring better product and quality.

Thank you all and have a happy holiday.

Also true for the visor lights, since they're all the same bulb (ideally, I'd like to see 8 bulbs, but they only send 4).
