Afternoon all,
I've read various times across this forum that the vanity lights for the sun visors are normal yellow glow lights, i was just curious if there are any other light that aren't LEDs in the car. as far as i know, they are the only normal lights in the car. reason i ask is that my car SHOULD be here in a few weeks and I want to get LEDs to replace any normal lights in the car
-
Glove box and inside the boot are same as vanity ones

thanks :D
-
Are they 39 or 42mm festoon bulbs?
-
vanity lights and boot light are different sizes. do a search as this was discussed a few weeks ago and I can't remember what the sizes were.
-
I think the vanity ones are 39mm and the boot ones are 42mm. I have got bulbs to replace these but haven't got to fit them yet
-
I will also be looking to do this.
If anyone has links for the correct bulbs it would be great
-
Where can one buy these replacement bulbs??

I bought these through a recommendation on this forum. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=271005739332 I have been told they work. I tried fitting them last night and couldn't get them to work.
-
Mmmm...that's not any use then :whistle:.....Is it a bulb you could pick up from the local halfords??
-
Jimble has done it to his car and I asked about the bulbs. Hopefully should be in this link with pics and then links for ebay. Not sure if you can get the LEDs from halfords though.

My GTD definitely doesn't have a glove box light. I thought it was weird that it didn't. I presume it should??
-
Yes it should (poor phone pic, but you get the idea)

Maybe bulb not fitted in error (assuming you have the lens fitment) or has blown before you got it.

So vanity: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270993317483?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

@MM087 & @GTI_Redpath
The vanity ones are correct... 39mm. I fitted mine last night. The boot one takes 42mm but the glove box is a push in sort of sidelight bulb not same shape as other ones.
-
Any links for the Glovebox L.E.D. Bulb ?
-
I never looked for one tbh, I had a blue sidelight bulb that I stuck in it, had it lying around workshop
-
Do we trust these bulbs from ebay?
I had LED number plate bulbs from ebay in my Mk5 which ended up blowing and having to have the fault code reset by VW.
Perhaps they didn't like the damp conditions but still makes me wonder if these are worth it?
-
Alternatives are available from places like osram but they are a little pricey. As usual not rated for external vehicle use but I think I will have a try the 4k colour ones at some point.
Type 239: http://www.amazon.co.uk/OSRAM-6000k-replacement-single-blister/dp/B007OYVKUO/
Edit: Removed type 501 as not proved to be right size
-
And these will work for the Visor / Glovebox / Boot ?
-
I dont see why not as they are standard replacement bulbs.
When my car turns up I will confirm that the osrams work properly. Wouldn't want to cause anyone unnecessary issues :)
Edit: Jimble linked the 239 sized ones for the vanity and glovebox, the 501 type I linked as someone said that the glovebox one was a blade type.
