HOT interior xenons

Back in a Subie · 05-25-2008, 04:21 PM

So, I have read the posts about the melted trunk lights, but I have never seen anything about the lights under the front doors on the E90. After one of them burnt out, I decided to get the LEDs from v-leds and upon replacing the bulbs I found this:

As you can see in the pics the housing was really stuck on there, it took many tries with a little screw driver to separate them. Now I am a little worried about the other bulbs because all of the examples were not the little round bulbs, but the longer ones with metal ends. Any one else had this happen?
