Some may disagree with sizes on bulbs by a mm or two but the sizes are based on this fabulous seller bellow

The boot light on my LCR in no way would accept a 36mm festoon, I know as I ordered one by accident 39/40mm will however.

i agree make it a sticky took me ages the other day to find out what the part number was for a replacement brake light bulb.. probably me being a n00b but still handy to have as a sticky!

 

[Tyler Owen]

Yep good idea for a Sticky !!

1-2mm off will not be a problem.

Its a matter of just pushing harder or opening the terminals.

The Glovebox is the only case where you can´t place a larger Festoon.

I got the rear roof light bulbs out today but they dont have anything on them to say what they are? Has anyone changed these for LED's? It would be a real shame if thes bulbs cant be changed. They seem to be wired in to a plastic holder which clips in to the light housing.

Good job unclefester!! what are the bulbs called and where can i get them from please?

 

[UncleFester]

I'll dig out the ebay link so i can tell you - they're not 'designed' to fit .... but anything that has wires that can be bent can be made to fit

 

[danieltm]

Top man! Thanks

 

[highguyuk]

Very handy - thanks very much! Are the main exterior lights easy to fit?

 

[stuart86]

good idea for a sticky

i wouldnt worry about a few mm out as you can just bend the terminals.

 

[danieltm]

Do you think you could modify a wedge bulb to fit in the rear roof lights?

 

[danieltm]

I fitted my rear roof light bulbs today but was expecting them to be a bit brighter? Its a bit of a shame coz i think the interior front LEDs look really good

 

[UncleFester]

I'm pretty sure with a bit of tinkering you could make something brighter fit.

Question for UncleFester;

How did you get the rear light cluster to come off? I've just been out there to have a look at bulb sizes and I got nowhere. Is it just a case of getting a srewdriver behind the unit and using some gentle persuassion? (Not sure if I've just killed the central locking by pocking and prodding. It worked fine when I opened the car, but not when I came to lock up.)

Any clues you can give me would be appreciated.

Thanks
Mark

I have done near enough a full interior conversion bar the roof lining lights. Anyone know what size they are? What type of led etc...???

 

[jiege01]

anyone have any problems when replacing the two 5w5 bulbs in the light above the rear view mirror with led ones. the festoon bulb in the middle works but the two 5w5 bulbs glow dimmly and flicker.
