Illuminated BMW Badge

Post by eyerisk »

Hi does anyone have any experience of fitting backlit bonnet badges. Have seen them on EBay and am considering a purchase? Any advice re fitting and connecting?

Cheers

Ian

Doesn't the Z4 have illuminated badges/indicators on the front wings ?

The side indicators have badges on top of them so that the indicator lights from behind the badge - don't think it actually shines through the badge though.
