Title: Footwell lights in red ?
Post by: mwad gti on 06 September 2012, 10:50

Hi

I have tried using the forum search but cannot find what I am looking for.
I am sure that some time ago photos were taken where the footwell lights were changed to red.  Has anyone dome this ?

I think subtle red footwell lighting would look good with the red mood lighting.

Thanks

Yup...501 sidelight bulbs from eBay...they work a treat and are dimmable.

Yep, I've done it and it's very easy and looks great. Can't remember the exact bulbs I got, but they were recommended on here (on ebay) and came in a pack of 10.

Think they be the same, just wondering why the big difference in cost?

Cheap as chips! They don't need to be LED's.

Look good!  I wonder why they aren't red as standard as they look far better.  :smiley:

Mine arrived this morning and already fitted, will see how they look later when it's dark :cool:

Just need to order some LEDs for the rest of the interior lights.....

Mine arrived today, I'm gonna try and get some decent before and after pics. Has anyone got the fitting diagram for the overhead interior lights as I think may be next on my hit list?

This thread of an Aussie forum is quite helpful, turns out its a different bulb in the boot so that'll have to wait. S for now I'm gonna do the footwell and glovebox lamps.
