LED Interior lights- cheapest and easiest mod I have done.

[CUB]

Hey guys,

Just thought I would throw up a quick post about installing LED interior light this mod took about 5 min tops, cost about $5 and works great. I struggled to find the info I needed to start with so thought I would put it in here. May have been covered before, so the problem I had mainly was not knowing the key words for an eBay search turns out it's called a festoon bulb for the rear and middle and dome light for the map lights in the front I ended up with a 48 SMD LED for rears -

And 12 SMD LED for the map light could have gone bigger but I think they work just fine-

They both came with double sided tape on the back I just cut off the sections I needed to stick so as the wires didn't get stuck to the back as well and if they do ever vibrate off I can make a backing plate and still re attach them but I doubt that will be a problem as the tape stuck like super glue.
Other than that it's just a matter of removing your light covers I did this very gently with a cloth and screw driver removing your old bulb and putting these in.
Ps the festoon bulbs for the rear have a positive and negative side so make sure they work before attaching them hence why I know the tape works so well.....

Here is a before and after of the middle light taken during day time it's a big improvement and looks even better at night

Try these http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2x-Super-...item41790104bb I'm going to use them on my awning, but would light up any drawer system as well.
If you search you can find red ones as well.

Yep the ones Nissangq link are the exact ones I used they just stick straight in I can take some photos later on for you if you would like?

The front dome light replacement sockets I received were a little bit different ie the location pins were further down so if I twisted them all the way into the locating slot they wobbled round so I just twisted them about half way problem solved.
