Sorry this is the fronts. The previous post pix are both the rears.

Finished doing mine lastnight and I'm very pleased with the results.

They do shine off the chrome bits nicely and make the seat stiching stand out too.

Finished mine today. Thanks to Tankdave for his help.

Well pleased with the result.

You will need 5 of the bulbs on the left for the interiors and 6 of the bulbs on the right for the tailgate and footwell lights.

Any chance of links and/or part numbers so that other members can purchase - I'd certainly like to get some ready and put them with the LED DRL bulbs I have already. :thumbup:

Another thing is that they are not quite so blue to the naked eye, the camera is making them a bit blue like. You agree Phil?

Taken in daylight. Colour balance not too true.

They look blue but believe me in in the dark they are really white and bright.

To finish off the LEDs makeover I have done the vanity mirror lights.

May i suggest:

WardenJP

His bulbs are well made with drivers, CANBUS ready and good cooling for the LEDs.

Your orders will not be taxed, as his uncle works for the German customs. Your order will be sent to his uncle, then redispatched from Germany to the country in europe you might live in.

It's only a few of them with with canbus support. The resistors are not integrated. I don't like the solution with seperat resistors and error cancelling cables.

Finished all the interiors now including the vanity mirror lights.

When I was doing the rear footwell lights I noticed that the seats were from Audi.

Does the LED bulb give much difference in the white light output?

The ones in the picture look like they are forward firing only which may not be great for the white part of the lens which is to the side of the bulb.

I think I will get a set for the interior and try them out in the door and see!

Correct they are IMO pretty pants for the doors and certainly nowhere near as much light is emitted through the clear part of the lens compared to the std bulbs, you want a bulb that shines down as well as through the end. I also thought the red went a bit too pink for my liking with the bulbs on the left.

Reviving an oldish thread here - but has anyone replaced the bulbs in the sealed units used in the tailgate lights & the footwell lights by any chance?

I can't stand yellow filament bulbs emoticon-0143-smirk.gif

I have changed the tailgate light bulbs for LED's, the metal cover on the back of the lIghts pops off enabelIng you to get at the bulb.
