There you go mate  :happy2:

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:

think ive blown the fuse (7.5amp) was trying to fit the center map light between the two circle one and must have shorted it out and blown it....so hard to fit the middle one, not sure how that V-Shape piece of metal goes back in. :confused:

I read the whole thread on fitment, very helpfull indeed, i will use it as my led lights i got are still sitting in my garage as wasnt sure on how to fit and was to lazy to just wing it lol.
I have no excuse now though,, it does mention on the thread that some cars come with a small hint of blue on the led bulbs - made me wonder if this would be a cool thing to have instead of just pure white ????????? what do you think of that idea guys ??? just a thought.
Once again thanks MC for the link.  :happy2:

Well ive got the pure white one from Matt, and they do look really nice, as long as it was only a slight hint of blue, that would look nice
