Interior LEDs

[djnapkin]

For anyones interest I replaced my interior lights with LEDs today and took a few pics along the way so thought I would do little write up for anyone not sure if they should or could do it. I'm sure glad I did it.

I replaced the map lights and main light in the interior and the number plate lights. I intended to do the parkers but the LEDs I got unfotunately wouldn't fit though the hole in the headlight assembly as the head was too big


Here are the lights I bought off ebay.

I bought them from here.
Main Interior Light: 1pc 44mm 211 212 18 LED (Xenon White) Festoon Bulb
Map Light and Number Plate Light: 2pcs T10 W5W Flank High Power LED (White) Wedge Bulbs

The sunglass holder/sunglass console is probabaly the most non-obvious part to do. As descibed above, get a small screwdriver and pop off the 'l-shaped' bit of plastic between the lights off. This will give you something to grip. Just pull the whole console off, once you get it a little you should be able to easily get your finger tips in around the edges and just yank it off. This does take a bit of force to do so don't be scared. Once it pops off it will look like this:

Unplug the whole console off the cable where the white plug is. Then you can take it off completely so you can work on a flat surface somewhere.
