Just come out to change my bulbs. Number plate ones are fine. Changed the boot one and now none of the interior lights work. Anyone know which is the fuse for interior lights. Also the led bulbs for the vanity mirrors are way too short. Anyone else had this?

Just fitted a complete set bought from Matt on eBay, only problem is that after fitting the glove box and footwell lamps they have ALL STOPPED WORKING,anyone any ideas why ?

Also a slight gripe,the bulbs arrived and there are no model or type numbers on any of the packets ???  I know I have fitted the correct size as this is straight forward,could I of blown a main fuse, if so anyone with an idea which one to look at ?

cheers


Hmmmm, definitely strange that they have all stopped working?  :stupid:  Could be a fuse??? Im not sure mate.

Lots of people have fitted these now and they are all SO pleased with the results.  :pomppomp:


I can help you with the types of bulbs and where to put them though. Here's what they look like and where they go  :wink:





5SMD x6 (Glovebox x1, Front Map x2, Rear Map x3)




8SMD Canbus x2 (footwell)



42mm x1 (Boot)




36mm x2 (sunvisor)




36mm Canbus x2 (numberplate)



See if that's any help jedi ;)

The extra bulb for the centre light is too short too.

All fixed. The centre interior light (which not everyone has anyway) definitely isnt 36mm and i couldnt get it to fit at all and it just kept falling out even when i bent the connectors. So I squeezed the space 42mm one (from the boot) into that spot and its fine.

The vanity mirrors fitted the 36 mm ones ok after i bent the connectors.

The fuse has been replaced and all working ok now :)

Hi there,
Just came across this thread now.
How much would it cost for the full interior and exterior set?
Do these cause any warning lights?
And also im in ireland so how much is shipping?
Thanks, looking forward to your response!  :laugh:

Exterior ones as used by Carlo, MTEC's, about £30ish from eBay, he has put a link up in this thread. For the interior lights, contact Matt directly and as others have said he gives a fantastic service with quick delivery and per tests all his bulbs. The look of my car with these lights inside is uber cool.

Can't comment on the MTEC's as I have the Phillips Xteme bulbs .

Yep found mine needed to be bent a little bit, but there was plenty of give in the connectors to do it.
