Cabin Courtesy Light

[is200 Newbie]

This only applies to the courtesy lights in the cabin.

I have recently replaced the wing mirror OEM bulbs with LED ones and these are the same type for the front cabin courtesy light so I have replaced these also.

I have however only replaced the front bulbs as the rear passenger seat light requires a different type which I am currently looking for.

The steps below show how to change the bulbs in the front unit. I will do the rear when I get the correct bulbs.

You can also just use your pry tool on the lens cover. I think there were 3 locator lug points. Saves taking the whole unit out.

It's the same method as used on the rear lens cover.

Fitted two rear festoon bulbs today - colour matches very well

31mm fits fine - don't think you would be able to fit anything larger as the clips in the light sockets are right up to the edge of the bulb.

Picture below - eBay £5 for 10

I might look at doing the boot but its not that obvious how to get to the bulb

The one in the boot comes out in a similar fashion to the vanity light holder positioned behind the sunshade, and also much like the one at the base of the front doors.

I can't believe how the prices of LED's has dropped in 18 months. The only type that seem to be holding up are the CREE ones - - - - the type I have for sidelights and reversing lights.

I know - first time I have fitted LED's so surprised at the cost of them...

Kind of made me wonder how long they will last being so cheap.

I haven't done the vanity lights, I thought I would leave them. I have ordered the logo projector lights for the doors - just curious as to how they will look. The boot one would be handy so will look to do that one.
