Interior lighting
« on: 30 October 2013, 15:40 »
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

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 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.
