my faces;

4. red footwell lights


Is this a mod you did yourself? If so, how? Just replaced the standard yellow bulbs? I was thinking of doing likewise, give the car a warmer glow in the winter  :grin:

I replaced mine with THESE

Nice effect, matches the rest of the red glow and the dimming function works unlike the LED ones  :smiley:

In fact I still have eight left, where else can you put them  :laugh:

no need to change bulbs really.

i used red light lens repair tape from the auto factors. it only cost a few pence.

cut out and stick it on the lens and you get a nice red glow!

something like this

You could put a couple in an envelope and send them my way! :laugh: :laugh:

Are they easy enough to fit? I'm sure i remember someone saying it was a nightmare to get the covers off? :huh:

Fitted these to my GTD today. They were relatively easy to fit! Easily the most cost effective mod ever, they really should be red from the factory IMO!
