I have tried searching - I have a 2017 Citigo Monte Carlo and I am about to order new Leds to replace the interior bulbs.  Has anyone done it?  Can can anyone suggest a place to get CANBUS friendly LED (if they are needed)? 

CANBUS aren't needed for bulb warning etc..... But i found that none CANBUS LEDs remained constantly lit very slightly instead of being off altogether. I got CANBUS bulbs and they go off as they should.

 

I just got mine from ebay although i fitted the replacement interior light so needed the normal single festoon LED along with two w5w LEDs for the map lights.

I've swapped my interior light out for the one with the two reading lights in addition to the main bulb.

Could you suggest the bulb types I need to look for on ebay to replace the current ones for LED?

As I mentioned above with the three light unit you'll need a festoon canbus LED (can't remember the size off hand but you can check your existing bulb for the size) and two w5w canbus LED bulbs that have diodes on the end rather than, or as well as, the sides. 

 

 

I bought something roughly like these.....

Could have been the bulb was the wrong size, I had this problem too, turned out I had put the wrong bulb size in

Thanks, I've picked up similar looking LED's from ebay, I will see how it goes with them. Fingers cross they fit and behave!

LEDS arrived, fitted without any issues. Result!

 

any photos!  Can you post links to what you bought on here?

Cheers

Will get a photo soon.

 

In terms of what I bought (bear in mind I have swapped the Citigo interior light for one from a Skoda Fabia Mk2) - it has the dome light and a map light either side.

 

Bulbs purchased were as follows:

thanks

just fitted the above mentioned canbus festoon bulbs in mine (42mm) and they remain on when they should be off ,and after a while start to flicker quite rapidly . Any ideas ?

ok just been out to have look and take a pic 

So pic 1 is after unlocking car , nice and bright 

pic 2 is with car locked 

and pic 3 is with interior light switched on manually ,which is no where near as bright as it should be .

confused !
