LED Bulb Upgrade
 
I am wanting to replace the Interior Light Bulbs with LED bulbs.

Before I start dismantling to get all the necessary Info from the existing bulbs..... has anybody done this Mod and can somebody perhaps assist with
any Info.

I have done a search on the Forum but without any result.

Also want to do the Number Plate Lights.

Appreciate the Help.

there are lots of interior bulbs in the D2 including reading lights, footwell lights, puddle lights and the standard lights. i think i changed about 16 bulbs plus number plate lights. best sugestion is to take out one at a time and look what type you need and just order each type from ebay. i went for the white ones.

Thanks for the advice Gents...

I removed bulbs last night and was surprised how many of them are the same.
When I did this Mod on my Cab just about every bulb was different.
What aslo amazed me with the S is the ease with which one is able to remove
all the covers etc... On the Cab it is a real sweat.

Total bulbs is 22 including the Trunk and Number plates.

Will post pics once done.

it would be good if you could list how many of each type of bulb there is and where they went so we can pre-order in future if anyone wants to get LED'd up!! +++
