Hi Staddly,
Yep I've done my interior bulbs.
This guy on Ebay sent me some good led bulbs:
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/serviceyouaaaaa/Car-decoration-lights-/_i.html?_nkw=Festoon&submit=Search&_fsub=2654751015&_sid=999151565
Free postage also.
The 2 map lights and the centre roof light are festoon bulbs, 5W, 31 mm I think. The covers all pop off with a screwdriver covered in a cloth. Pop an existing bulb out to measure, pretty sure its 31mm.
The 4 puddle lights at the door bottoms and the 2 boot lights are all 5W 501 fitting. Again covers pop off with care.
The give a nice white light, better than the old yellow.
Sidelight bulbs are 5W 501 fitting also.
Need to upgrade my headlamp bulbs to match the whiter side lights, but will probably go with white Phillips or Osram nightbreakers, not LED.
Wont do the indicators as I've heard you get errors with these, quick flashing etc, wont bother with taillights also.
cheers
Rich

Not at the moment. They just look nice and white, rather than yellow like the old bulbs.
No worries Rich.
I was actually thinking of blue LED's to match the lighting in the foot wells so today I ordered a full set for the inside of the car - I will take some before pics tonight and will let you know the difference when they arrive.
I also ordered some for the rear number plate and the side light bulbs to see whet they look like, will be getting some 'white' main light bulbs in due course as I dislike the standard yellow haze!

Very nice. I think you should try this as well but in Blue.
I put a SMD LED strip along the bottom of the door and shoved the wires into the bulb holder of the door. For £4 I think its a great mod.
I still need to change the original bulb to a red LED which Ill order now

Ive Never seen these before. You open your door and it projects a logo onto the floor.
