F30 led interior dome bulbs and reverse bulbs

I'm trying to upgrade my stock reverse lights to led's but not sure the bulb number to replace them with. Same thing for my interior dome lights for my 16 340i. Anyone know the bulb number needed to replace them with? I would guess its the same for all F30 models but not too sure.

Thanks

Find out what bulbs your car uses (they're not all the same), google that number along with LED and you'll get the LED equivalent. My domes are LED, AFAIK that's all they've used in US F series. You will have to code the reverse lights to turn off the cold and warm checks and designate the source as LED.

Try:

Also

Also your idrive onboard search by pictures spells out most exterior bulbs standards.

I have these on my f30 - blinkers and brake lights - for some time now. Love them.

I have these as reverse lights. White but not much brighter than stock incandescent bulbs. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B076J...b_b_asin_title

For your BMW f-series you must get the Can-bus type LED or you will get the flashing. Either way, you must code the bulbs to LED. Here is the one I got for my 4 series and has been great overall: https://amzn.to/2NjHOjZ

Here is for your specific 2016 3 series: https://amzn.to/2V7awJ3

Good luck!
