Changing interior bulbs
« on: 14 February 2008, 21:41 »
My car has these stupid blue interior bulbs which look ridiculous!! like something from a boy racer civic so I've got standard white bulbs to replace them
How do I open the unit to replace the bulb?
Had a quick look in the owners book earlier but couldn't find anything!!
Help, cos it's horrible the way it is!!  :sick:

Thanks mate,
It's funny really, my car lights up exactly as the car in the guide does!!
I've had the interior lights turned off since I got the car in case somebody saw them!! lol
Not my cup of tea at all....  :embarassed:

I like the blue lights, if only because they seem clearer than plain jane white or council yellow :smug:

i wouldnt mind that look but i wouldnt have them that bright blue. A very sutle hint of blue (or red) would be nice and i agree with Hurdy about plain jayne and council yellow.

I think these would look great if they were a bunch of red LED's instead of just a white bulb :kiss:
