Yeah as one side is negative and the other positive, tbh i have never got them the wrong way either so maybe they can work both ways, try it and let us know ;)

I've replaced all but the rear clusters and the rear passenger interior bulbs (T5 Neo from what I've seen). All sourced from UltraLEDs.

Anyone know where you can get the rear passenger bulbs? I did have a pair ordered but they're supposedly coming from Hong Kong. Been 3 weeks now. :shrug:

Incidentally, my number plate bulbs are 39mm. I'm thinking of purposefully breaking one of the LEDs on each bulb because they're too bright!

T5 are available from ebay
It does say the number plate bulbs are 39mm now :) and if you break a led my bet is they are wired so they all go out.

Wow they are bright!!! They look really good!

I ordered some for my number plate, but I never got round to fitting them and now I can't find them :shrug: ah well, i'm sure they'll turn up somewhere!

Yeah, mine aren't that bright! I might mask off all but the centre of 3 LEDs in each festoon and spray it black. Should dim it damn by about, ooh, 33%. Should be alright then.

I'm really pulling my hair out over the rear passenger lamps though. I got some T5 Neo bulbs from Hong Kong, but they are utter rubbish. For anyone thinking about it, don't bother. I'm looking around for components to weld in the gap for a brighter white light in the back instead of a dim blue tinge. If anyone's got any advice, that would be great.
