I thought I would do a quick post on the plate SMDs I have added to the motor. I despise the yellow glow of filament bulb and they aren't that bright!
Any how these are what I purchased.
And they come with both festoon (sprung so fit many sizes) and T10 or 501.
I first shortened the connection by resoldering only the connection I required rather than having a mass of cable. I then used a glue gun and to fasten them in place.
I did this for the 3 interior lights and both of the puddle lights. However to fit in the enclosure for the boot light it needed to be trimmed.
Which gives a nice tight fit..
This is how the lighting now looks at night...
Compared to the filament puddle light...
The SMDs were purchased from here if anybody is after them.

Indecently I have also tidied up the front. Standard 20 SMD T10 and changed the factory xenon bulb for a 6000K for a whiter light. (Iphone doesn't give a great colour representation but both sides and heads are the same colour)
To be continued when more arrives in the post.
