Evening all
I am looking at upgrading the interior bulbs to led
Has anyone done this? If so where can I get bulbs and is it easy?
Also got a non smoking pack and want to fit an ashtray in the front
Can you Help please???

I did mine a few months ago and they look :cool: It's very easy to do as long as you are careful when removing trim.
Got all mine off ebay. Vanity lights - Festoon 36mm type (ones with 6 led tabs give better brightness). Map/dome lights - 501 T10 W5W side lights (some of these are too long and touch the light cover when installed so you need the shorter ones). Don't think interior lights are monitored but best to get canbus error free.
Followed this guide which was very helpful

If you do follow this, it states you need 2 different types of led's for the rear map and dome lights but this is not the case. I used all the same type which was the top one of the two shown in the relevant pic.
