Glove Box LED

[AdamRoutley]

Looking to swap this for an LED replacement..is it a straight swap and does anybody have link for the bulbs?

btw..i HAVE searched

It's a festoon bulb but you'll need to measure the bulb length to work out which one fits.

 

[AdamRoutley]

totally lost on this :S (newbbb) any chance of a link that would fit (direct swap)

 

[UncleFester]

Not without measuring the bulb - it's hidden on top of the glovebox

I want to replace all my interior lights with LED's.

Seeming as your the man in the know!!

What size are the onces rear of the car, and the center one up front? (all on the ceiling)

There are two little 507's "side light" bulbs on the main roof thingy as well.

Cheers mate.

Yep I'm interested in a white set for the ceiling/door lights also. Should just be able to measure them and look for a suitable replacement on ebay etc..

hmm might have a look later.

I cancelled the lights on the roof lining with the switch.

I cant open that thingie... And also i didn't want to damage the roof lining.


I dont like too much light inside when i arrive... one can almost see my X-ray with so many LEDs.





I don't mean to create an OFF-TOPIC here , but ill leave some suggestions on other applications.

It does make a world of difference...

Number Plate Recess :

LED vs OEM

FINAL RESULT

Interior Lights :

Boot :

Whats size are them interior lights and boot lights?

 

[MDS]

Whats size are them interior lights and boot lights?

Interior Front .

Normal LEDs x 2

Central 40mm FESOONLED


Boot + G.Box = 36/38mm FESTOON LED


I recomend the following types. High Power Chip Leds and Multi LEDs for wider angle

What size are the number plate lights? and do you know the interior door lights size?.

 

[UncleFester]

So which ones did you use in the reverse lights / number plate lights?

Number plate can be used with 40mm, but its a damn tight fit.

You wil have to really force them in. Good thing is they wont move around.

Ideally 36/38mm...

So which ones did you use in the reverse lights / number plate lights?

Reverse lights are normal lights.

Theyre just brighter as the RAID lights dont have etched plastic.

Its clear on the reverse section so they light up more.


There are LED bulb type lights though.

I removed them as i did not like the ROBOTIC look

I prefer the clear bulb with the chrome one next to it.

The number plate lights .

The rectrangulr shaped plastic covers (transparent) have on either side rectangular openings.

Look closely ans one has a small tab.

With an average sized flat screwdriver ( size = like the one in the jack) push the tab towards the outer edge as its U shaped inside

Insert screwdriver in "yellow space"
Pull Outward "Red Arrows"

LEDs can be bought on Ebay
