Interior light LED's

[Jon Wildsmith]

Watching this interestedly & taking notes

Thought you have led's already Gav?

 

[Gav Peter]

I need one for the map light in the front

All the LED's work really well but the Cree reversing lights are an especially good upgrade

They look awesome, would these bulbs work on the 90 series?

 

[Jon Wildsmith]

No idea what fitment a 90 takes, sorry. If you can find an online bulb supplier that lists bulbs for 90's, 80's & 100's you could compare part numbers? If you check that thread Paul has them for the 80 as well as 100 so you might get lucky.

For the interior I ordered the smd led panels on ebay that came with the various fittings - if you search for smd led panel you will see what I mean. The map lights use the small bayonet like fitting, and the middle and rear cabin lights use the festoon fittings.

Should have added sooner that both box's turned up direct with no import duties to pay

Would these be the same thing you are using for reverse lights?

[Jon Wildsmith]

They look the same and the dimensions look about right but I can't be any more sure than that just going off memory. The difference in use is not slight, they are a huge improvement

 

[warrenpfo]

I will place an order and keep you posted.

The 7440 is the correct reference, but on that description it says 24v, not sure if that is correct.

 

[warrenpfo]

Many thanks i listed the wrong ones as they also have 12v version so have emailed the seller.

Good thing someone is on the ball tonight.

 

[andyw]

I'm just going to order some of the dome lights for myself, also might be ordering a few sets of the cree reversing lights just to see what they are like, if anybody is interested PM me.

 

[Jon Wildsmith]

The door lights are worth doing as well Andy, they light up the ground under the door and the step really well so passengers can see what they're stepping out onto in a dark spot. Really noticed that improvement on a family night time outing last week.

 

[andyw]

Going to order direct from China as I have a contact out there, but they have a min quantity of 10 units.

Never taken the door bulbs out, so what sort do they use.

andy w,sent a pm, forgot to add mine are for a 12v 120 series

 

[Jon Wildsmith]

They're the same fitting as in the front map lights, I don't know what the code would be for that though. The easiest way to access the door light bulbs is to pop the whole unit out and then remove the cover. The end of the light towards the front of the car has a spring clip so ease the light away from the door card a little and slide a small flat bladed screwdriver in to push the clip back. Sounds harder than it is and it doesn't sound very hard If you're bringing in 48 led panels for the domes I'd have a couple off you as spares seeing as my spare from pfran fit nicely in my tent.

I said i would keep you updated.

I arrived home to a small package on the door step.

Upon opening I found a well packaged set of bulbs:

Will keep you poted on the install...
