Has anyone here changed any of their interior bulbs? I was thinking about some nice clear/white ones since the stock ones are a bit yellowish. Something like these:

I just ordered these, guy called Frank emailed me with delivery cost after I bought, a bit odd yes as your normally know beore you order what the cost will be, but he was very helpful! $15 US Airmail to UK. A number of quicker options are available if you need. They should look the part when fitted!
-
They actaully look pretty good. Are they as simple as pulling the cover off, poping them out and sticking the new ones in?

When I click on the link nowt happens! :huh:

I have no idea how easy they are to fit, I am hoping simple enough.... :laugh: Never once tried to look at how to take the interior bulbs out to be honest but I will let you all know. Coming from the states US Airmail I would imagine a week at least before they arrive.
-
Could you take some snaps once you have them fitted as they look good on their website but they are bound to make them look good online. Id love to see what they look like on the Golf.
-
Yes, will post pics. I will do my own before and after. I think these will be a good job I have to say, the photos do look the part and as you say lets hope they represent the look of the actual product.

Looking forward to seeing the results :smiley:.

These bulbs are NOT the cheap "knock-off" X-Tech or Xenergy brand kit sold by other vendors. This is the original Interior Xenon light kit. Other vendors' bulbs don't fit, are too dim or too yellow in color to give you the true cool xenon white sensation you demand for your Volkswagen. Be careful, they have named their bulbs the same, made their packaging look the same, and even copied the look of our photography. Get the best for your Volkswagen... get THE ORIGINAL INTERIOR XENON BULBS from EuroSport Tuning. NOW WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY!
This is the last set of bulbs you will ever need to buy! Give that xenon look to your vehicle interior with: "The Original" Xenon Interior Bulbs. These replacement bulbs are easily installed and dramatically give your vehicle's interior a natural white glow. Our bulbs are custom fabricated in style, length and wattage for your vehicle, and are then charged with actual xenon gas. Each kit replaces all interior lights, plus your trunk interior and license plate lights.
Our interior xenon bulbs are the perfect cure for that dull yellow look. An "Interior light replacement kit" consists of XENON charged bulbs that replace all interior lights including (were applicable / available): dome lights, rear courtesy lights, reading lights, vanity mirror lights, glove box lights, under-dash courtesy lights, trunk interior lights, license plate lights and under hood lights. Kit sizes vary depending on model of vehicle.
NOTE: A very few vehicles require lights that are not currently manufactured for this application. In those cases no replacement is provided. Example, low wattage/exceptionally tiny bulbs in some vanity mirrors.
NOTE: We do not accept returns on any used bulbs. For this reason please make sure you know the product you are buying by reading the write-up and selecting the proper bulb kit when ordering. When a bulb is turned on its filament becomes very fragile making its chances of breaking in transit very high. Since we have no guarantee that any bulbs sold have not been turned on (nor can we test them for the same reason listed above) we cannot accept returns to resell/reship the bulbs in the future.
NOTE: Warranty claims must be made via email. A small shipping and handling fee will be charged for transportation of your replacement bulb should it go defective. Warranty is void by misuse, incorrect installation or touching the glass of the bulb. In the unlikely event that more than one bulb becomes defective over the warranty term, we may ask you to return the defective bulb to us for inspection.
Installation for this Product is classified as: 2 - Easy
Installation can be done by any single person, basic mechanical skills may be required.
A minimal number of tools (all found within a basic toolbox) are required. Estimated installation time is generally far less than 30 minutes.
Please refer to the listing on this page to make sure that this product is compatible with your vehicle before ordering. If your vehicle make, model and extension is not listed, then this product will not fit your vehicle. If you wish to order this product anyway and attempt to modify it for your vehicle, you do so at your own risk and discretion and returns cannot be accepted. Although we may be in the developmental stage of having this product available for other vehicles, they will not be listed until they are actually in stock for your purchasing ability.
Hope that helps :smiley:.

Yeah im at work, I dont usually have a problem looking at any site! Thanks for that Jimp, and AlanD that no work either, but thanks! :smiley:

All as I posted earlier I took the plunge and ordered these.
I have now received and fitted these interior bulbs and they are brilliant! I will try take some pics tonight when its dark, I have never been good at taking photos at night but Ill do my best. I can say for sure that the colour as reflected in the photos earlier in this thread is exactly how they look. Gone is the aweful yellow interior light for a nice xenon look. Its not a chav boy racer colour just the same kind of glow the xenon lights give off only in smaller form. I tried many bulbs off ebay but none of them match the look of these.
It took about 6 days via US Airmail for my order to arrive from that website. The kit includes all the bulbs you need. The only bulb that is not the same fit as stock is the light for the boot. However you can improvise. The bulb is the same type but just a smaller version. I simply bent the copper fitting on the light housing to make the connection and hold the bulb in place. I honestly cant recommend these light bulbs enough!
Just to confirm the bulbs you can change with the kit
- both footwell lights (driver and passenger side)
- all bulbs in the light cluster above the rear view mirror
- all bulbs in the light cluster on the roof lining for the rear passengers
- driver and passenger side vanity mirror light
- rear number plate lights (2 bulbs go here)
- glovebox light
- light in the boot

They look great!!!!!!!! Cool pics too - they demonstrate the light colour emitted!
So how many bulbs come in the package? Do they all fit properly yes?
Cheers :cool: :cool: :cool:
-
Looks awesome! I'll be getting a set for Christmas :wink:.
-
I think there are about 14 bulbs in total. They all fit perfectly, apart from the one in the boot. Maybe thats cus my R32 is 06 model year, I dont know, but you can make it fit by just bending the copper fitting a bit. Dead easy.
-
Looks great, what does the price work out at?
-
$52 for the kit plus $15 US Airmail. Total of $67 is about £43 all in. Well worth it in my opinion. When you order them from the site there is no option for shipping. They email you very soon after for a number of quotes. I just opted for the cheapest US Airmail option, took about 4 or 5 days to arrive.
