jim Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Eventually got round to examining the footwell lights more closely. As you can see, the small 3W bulb is covered with a yellow plastic sleeve. Any idea where I could get replacement bulbs, possibly in different colours? I would like blue to match the interior lighting LEDs that I installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 We have foot well lights? Or is that just on JDMs? If you have a ICE shop or halfrauds near you they are all doing these type of LED's now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 Just on JDMs. Sorry! I'll give Halfrauds a try. Any idea what you call that type of bulb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDM Performance Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Not all JDM's have those lights - mine doesnt. I fitted the LED bars too (although mine were from that fantastic JDM Performance company ) Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 Arent they just 286s? from halfords, same as old car dashboard lights? I can only find 286s in 12V 1.2W, not the 12V 3W that these are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 Chris - many thanks for the (free) blue LED replacement bulbs. They arrived this morning and work well. Looking forward to seeing what they look like in the dark later on this evening. It's this kind of service that keeps us Zed owners going back to traders like Chris and Phil. Thanks again, Chris.
