[Leonfrdiesel184]

Double check the lights you already have.

If you already have LED (just don't like the yellow colour), then swapping isn't so straight forward as a lot of them are actually soldered into boards.

If you do have normal bulbs, its as simple as taking them out and checking what type you need (as you'd have to to check if they're not already LED).

As for who to purchase them off depends what you want to spend. Cheap ones on Amazon would likely just work as well, and if they didn't last as long, due to the price difference of some of the branded one you'd still be quid's in buying a replacement.

I don't sadly - I have in my head 5w5 or w5w or something

I made the mistake of buying red LEDs that were supposed to fit my white car only to find that as I had LED a lot of them were soldered into main boards or where a little SMD type thing like this.,.

Thanks for your help mate.

I will do what you say and take them out to see what actual bulbs are installed and type I definitely know mine don't have leds anyway as can see the crappy bulbs underneath the lense lol

IFIRC the front pair are 501 type bulbs, the rears? never in the back seat so didn’t bother.

Hi..... they are good quality and you get resistors to use in case they don't go off completely and either stay on dimly or flicker.

I had issues with the front two reading lights flickering at various times. I tried soldering the resistors, as per the instructions, they were better but it fix the issue completely. I ended up fitting two of these for the front reading lights and I've had no issues with them at all...
