Not so long ago I saw this post: Both ideas based on this approach: https://g07.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1922515


Problem on F48, the edge is of the grill is really small and there is no official parts for this. However it the edge is 6mm so it would fit a 5mm ledstrip glue on to it.

I got a pair of kidneys for 10 EUR on which I will give try but still unsure about the best approach.

Either these between the grill spokes in this edge

Or a ledstrip and then use silicon to seal it.

Unsure What will give best result and also unsure if the ledstrip likes being driven ar higher voltage from the alternator… So if anyone wants to chime in with a good idea it would be helpful.
