Post by: rob__gti on 20 August 2009, 22:40

I'm not a fan of LED lights, the beam is too intense if you look at it accidentally. Ends up burning your retina.

you can do it as i've got the entire of my interior as blue leds.

I'll find the link for the site i got them from and let you know

I think you will find the light the LED gives won't be bright enough as the light won't reflect off of the reflector (going by the LED replacements I have seen for sale). You may also have a problem with the delay when it dims to off... Not sure if LED's allow this to function.

the LED's do allow for the dimming function, works exactly the same as the bulb dim,

with the brightness, i can only talk from going from bulbs to blue so going to be less light but with the white LED's it'll have crisper light however it may not be as bright.......not a clue with white so will be a case of try and see,

i think the site i got mine from was:

http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/led-bulbs-12v-c-589.html

something similar to them if not and just a case of finding the right bulbs, i know the front center bulb is festoon but check it's the right size as i remember something about them being an odd length
