I would also like to know this, size/spec of all interior bulbs would be ace

W8 are 4off 501 bulbs

puddle lights are 37mm (I think) festoons but 39mm are cheaper and fit a treat

vanity lights are also festoons, same applies as above.

Non-alarm rear lights are festoons again, not sure what the ones with the sensors are.

Be warned the vanity lights and interior lights won't work at full power without the ignition on unless you fit a resistor in line somewhere as the LEDs have lower resistance

but they do work fine when unlocking the car as they run straight off the CCM, it's just when the timer runs out on the courtesy light

Wazzer you star 

When you say vanity lights, are they the ones near the grabhandles on the roof lining? 

Would these work for the Leds in the W8 light as one doesnt seem to be working!?

Am I right in thinking that they will no longer dim to off if I fit LEDs?

[Wazzzer]

Afternoon folks, finally got round to checking my interior bulbs how ever mine are different to the ones suggested 

Could someone please identify the bulbs, as im wanting to replace them with white led bulbs.

*the one on the left is from the puddle light on the bottom of the door?
*the one in the middle is from a vanity light (in the rear of the car next to the grab handle) there should be another wire tab but it snapped off when i was getting it out?
*The one to the right is the holder for the bulb in the middle?



Please help ?
