Quality Interior Led Lights


Recommended Posts

i have mixed a w5w type bulb fitting with a 12 or 16 LED panel

unsolder the 2 end caps of the festoon LED panel

solder 2 wires to the points where the festoon caps where soldered to

strip & thread the other end of the wires through the plastic

w5w cap and fold around the end of the cap.

i have done this for the following locations

interior roof & map lights,door lights,foot lights & boot light

dont be concerned about the power they take as it is minimal

a standard w5w takes 0.416 Amps against a 16 LED panel taking 0.12 Amps

"they are just plug and play" but i wanted to have more light

the replacement w5w come in different styles some have 4smd's around the side

and 1smd at the end with these i found you have light shinning to the sides and is wasted

i changed it to have all the light facing towards you

i.e. in the boot you have a large area to illuminate and 1 little bulb just doesn't cut it

before i fit any LED bulb to the car i always test them on a 12v supply off the car to make sure they are working properly

and leave them for a few minutes so they warm up,if there is an issue i will find it before there are fitted.

How do you take the light fitting out to fit the bulbs for front and rear roof lights?

small electrical screwdriver and gently lever the lens from the housing.
