Title: Red Footwell Lights
Post by: KennyGTI on 22 August 2011, 22:31

Got this mod from our American friends except they were more keen on using red tape in the bulb casing!? Anyways, got two 501 red LEDs on eBay and fitted them today. Pics are terrible, silly mobile camera, so borrowed a pic from another forum of how it actually looks in person. Only thing is I can't seem to adjust the brightness, not sure if it's because it's an 1w led bulb compared to the 5w oem bulb??

Bulb resistors should sort your dimmer out.
