Replacing those pesky yellow puddle lights

Hey guys,

Wanted to replace my F10's yellow puddle lights/trunk light on my own here. I know there are a few posts for this, but still wanted to get some updated feedback for an LCI F10 (as I read somewhere that the light adapter changed after the LCI update or something?)

Anyways, would these fit my LCI F10? If not, what other options do I have?

https://www.amazon.com/Partsam-White...Door+Light+f10

I really have no problem changing the bulb myself. If so, what bulbs would you recommend for my F10 BMW? Do they even still have bulbs in there or are they light strips now or something? If they do have bulbs still, what size should I look for here? Struggling to find info.

I'd rather not spend $40 on a pair for some LED's from BMS (I prefer Amazon!).

Anyways, any help is appreciated.

I transferred courtesy LED puddle/trunk light from 07 E92 pre-LCI to 15 F10 LCI, they all fit.

Dunno if it helps since my car is not LCI but I replaced my puddle lamps with these:

You can easily remove a puddle light from a door (they pop right out) and see what's there. Mine were lamps. The replacements are LED's.

I wasn't able to find any links on here other than the BMW logo lights. Here's a link to 6k LED lights, I just bought these. I'll come back to confirm they work but the description says they should.

I replaced all of my lights with these and it looks 10000 times better. They even make a similar type bulb for the front and rear dome lights that you can find on eBay instead of just using a single bulb
