Title: LED Interior lights
Post by: Sootchucker on 28 April 2016, 07:57

Hi guys, in preparation for picking up my second GTD in a few weeks, could someone confirm that the vanity lights under the sun visors are now LED from the factory and the only bulbs I'd need to change again would be the glovebox and boot ones for LED ?

On my 2013 GTD, the vanity lights were standard bulbs and needed to be changed as well for LED versions ?

Thanks.

Yes mate, the vanity lights are LED these days, the lense is more opaque than before too.

Yes, as above, but the boot light does stay on, at low level, when converted to led. Not sure if canbus lights work the same. The US supplier, who's name escapes me, supply one that works properly - at a price!

The LED can be stopped from coming on when the rear is shut.... have a look at this post:
