White interior lights?

Is there a way that you can change all the orange interior lights to white or any other color for that matter? Is it even possible? i tried searching but came up with nothing.........just wondering if it's possible because i'm not exactly the biggest fan of orange even though that is bmw's trademark thing

he's not asking about the interior LED's. Those replace the regular bulbs with something whiter. Nothing to do with the orange.

To the OP, a few people have looked at replacing some or all of the interior orange lights with something else. I wanted to replace the dash and radio / climate control lights with white led's. The dash itsn't too tough, the radio / climate control would be a PITA.

Someone also raised a good point - besides being a BMW tradition, the orange lighting is far better at night. White would screw more with your night vision, where the orange stands out at much lower light levels (your eyes are very sensitive in the yellow/ornage spectrum). In other words, you can get equal clarity with much lower lumen levels, therefore your night vision is not as affected. I decided the white would be very distracting in the interior, so I decided not to do the change.

I did do the map light and footwell upgrades. If that's of interest to you, search on "interior LED". I think it's sinchan, or something to that effect, that did it well. You can also PM me, I'll tell you what I used.
