Pimm Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 This is what i had in mind http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0422955598 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fien Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I've done it. Looks good. Doesn't make a lot of difference but it's one of those subtle mods that look smart if u notice. I replaced the interior with White extreme White festoons, changed the boot light with a 4 led 501 bulb and the rear number plate takes 2 the same. Bought them from autobulbsdirect. Cost a few pence over 20quid after forum discount. They also threw in some xenon side light bulbs for free. Definitely worth doing in my eyes although changing the side lights wasn't that easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Yep i did this. Nice little mod, but frustrating as you never get to see it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamby Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 i used 3 x 501/194/T10 Mini Light Tower 9 Leds Xenon White (One Bulb) 2 x 269 2 x High Brightness Xenon White SMT's 11 - 16v (One Bulb) from ultraleds i never realised we got forum discount from autobulbsdirect again a few quid over 20 notes these bulbs will do the number plate lights boot light and the interior lights and are on there way hopefully here today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletMagnet Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Pimm, if you remember my LED front Sidelights, then this is where I got mine from. http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Gxx-LED-C ... QQ_armrsZ1 fast delivery and fair prices. LEDs have not failed me yet or had the hissyfit that some get due to bad resistors or connections and end up blinking on/off.

Darren-B Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Does anyone know what size the festoon bulbs ar on the interior light? # 30mm/31mm # 36mm # 38mm/39mm # 41mm/42mm # 44mm I dont have the car with me to measure them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fien Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 They're 30 mm. Definitely worth the change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamby Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 these are the ones i got and fit perfectly these are for the interior of the boot and the rear number plate lights: http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/advanced_sea ... 8&x=8&y=10 and these were for the front interior bulbs (festoon) http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/high-brightn ... -1761.html i would post pictures but my camera broke the other day and i only have my phone camera and that just dont do it any justice all i can say is that it looks really smart and is a nice mod to do plus you can see more inside the car when its dark and they look good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
