Replacement bulbs/globes (headlights, tail lights & everything in-between)

[Guest]

Yes. There is the main one that comes on when you open the door, that's a festoon. Then the little round lense ones that point out each side (map lights) are T15s. Looking on Club VR-4, apparently some models had double festoons for the room light too.

Yep, all my interior lights are 31mm Festoons, no T-15's anywhere (which I've all replaced with 6x SMD 31mm festoons) Puts a really nice super white blue tinge on the interior at night.

Your car is festooned with festoons!

I don't think those multi-SMD festoons will fit the facelift room light, one side of the bulb is right up against the housing. Well, the ones I've seen have the LEDs sticking out each side a bit. There are single high output SMDs that could be the go.

And for the map lights I think 'flank' LEDs are the go, in order to get the light facing straight down.

Yea I have some side-facing high-intensity LED replacements in mine, went through three or four different models before I found one that worked right in that space. I'd love to tell you what ones they were, but TBH I can't remember, it was a year and a half ago!

Got the map lights & room light re-lit with LEDs. For the room light I used a high intensity LED but it still wasn't bright enough so ganged a couple together instead. Worked out well. For the map light I used some side facing 'flank' lights. They aren't much brighter than the original bulbs, but the colour is much nicer.

Also sorted out the indicators. I got some high intensity bulbs for there too, and they only just fit. So unfortunately I was just getting a single point of light from the LED rather than glowing the reflector. I ended up modifying the bulb holder to that the LED bulb sat about almost 10mm lower. This enables the light to fill the reflector a lot better. I've only replaced the side indicators and left the regular bulbs in the others. The flashing speed does not seem affected.

Hey Guys,

one of my interior lights is gone. The ones that flash when you lock the car. In the middle near the rear vision mirror.

Just to confirm what type of blub are these?

Mine are just a light either side and two switches in the middle
