350jimbobz Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 After Swapping my number plate and boot lights for LED 501's I proceeded to change the interior map bulbs only to find canbus ones inside. Can anyone recommend what size will fit? I should have measured them when I had them out really Looking at these just need size please http://www.ebay.co.u...XsWyH2BogpzytXw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 AFAIK it's a 30-32mm festoon bulb that'll fit it. I bought 32mm festoon LED bulbs for mine but 31mm would do it as well as there is some movement on the contacts for slightly larger or smaller bulbs.

Husky Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Do not use a bulb that has a heatsink big enough to short the contacts. It doesn't burn out a fuse, it burns out a track on your BCM, expensive fix for something so trivial, thanks Nissan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350jimbobz Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 Perfect thanks GMballistic Do not use a bulb that has a heatsink big enough to short the contacts.

cs2000 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 The 6 LED versions are fine, just look for ones with no big metal heatsink on the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) I have these ones for maximum brightness, UK seller too: http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm?itemId=181323895344 As said though, careful of the heatsink on the back, I put some electrical tape over the heatsink so it doesn't touch the metal contact between the bulb holders Edited April 26, 2016 by Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would a squirt of silicone be more stable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would a squirt of silicone be more stable? Not too sure, but as long as the heatsink isn't able to make contact you should be ok. With those bulbs I found that the heatsink was large enough to hold the tape in situ anyway as it pretty much touches the metal part of the dome.
