Choose the 'set of 10' option.

FYI - the X5 has 20 interior bulbs.

You'd need to mix and match a few OEM kits to get them all.

My new X has some interior LED bulbs from the previous owner.... Personally I dislike them, can't wait to swap them back to OEM.

Personally I can't imagine going back to stock, but I can see how it would be annoying if they weren't all switched to LED at the same time.

Cheap bulbs from ebay work just as well. Since they don't have to stay on long, you'll rarely have to replace them, if at all.
Speaking from experience.

P.S. Be strong and resist the urge to put LED bulb in the glove box light.

Yeah, to be honest, part of what annoys me is that they're almost a blu-ish color, the one under the passenger rear seat is out, and the two above the rear seats never got swapped, they're still OEM... Apparently it wasn't the most quality install...

I need to pull one and figure out if they're the BMW ones or some cheap eBay crap. If the latter, then maybe I'll buy the BMW ones and see how they look.

Anyone care to post pics while we're on this topic?
