LED Dome and Rear Bulbs

Could someone please post a definitive LED-upgrade list?

We fearful modders need instructions, pictures, and bulb specifications preferably in shopping list format. That LED-Upgrade List should likely become a sticky posting, as it seems to be THE most popular modification.

There are a few (dim/weak) ambient lights that have so far not made it to the list (e.g. knee, door handle), and some controversy about what bulbs will fit in the boot/trunk. Also, some of us are changing out exterior lights, like reversing lights, with variable effects.

P.S. You guys who pioneered the LED-upgrades, you rock! You already knew that, right?

To date, see posts #100 and #110

Thanks cjfp.

7 x Interior Headliner LED's are 501 T10 w5w capless ... no best examples yet?
4 x Interior Door Handle LED's ... unknown
2 x Interior Footwell LED's ... unknown yet? (each one lights up a 3-inch x 1/8-inch opaque tube).
1 x Interior Boot/Trunk LED is 37mm Festoon type ... example
2 x External Reverse LED's are T.15-w16w ... example

That's 14-interior LED's, and 2-exterior LED's, right?

On site so can go deep - we do know the footwell leds, the 'tube' ones are different and I think refer to the ambient lighting ones in the footwell/centre console. Also could add the rear indicators but I don't know what type they are.

Front and Rear indicator LED type bulbs are:

18-SMD 5200S 5202 LED (amber)

The 7 interior bulbs include the footwells a well, i.e. 3 above console, 2 rear seats, and 2 footwells.. hope this helps..

Where can we get those same led's that mickeydd has added to the front of his?

Join the fire service, you get them free!!!! Helps get me through the traffic.

My nephew is a driver - does that qualify me?

Course it does, I'll send you the blue lights, just pop them in the front grille.

Many thanks to Pete at Bell Auto Services and the following picture. (Mine weren't quite as rusty :lol


Using the two Stanley knife blades helped me remove the front console very easily indeed.
I used a small screwdriver and an old credit card (to protect the plastic) to remove the rear covers
Nothing covering the footwell lights so just removed the old and fitted the new LED's
Boot light very easily removed with small screwdriver.

Total time to change all eight interior bulbs = 15mins.

Just for all those who asked about LED's to use. Here are the items I purchased.

All seven cabin lights are the same - link to eBay item


Very pleased with the overall effect. Lighting is now very white as opposed to the standard yellow bulbs which look kind of dated.

I also had zero problems with the touch proximity sensors in the front lights after fitting. They all worked exactly as before.
