Hi all,

Maybe I'm missing the obvious here but I want to change the standard interior main light from its normal colour to blue.

So I bought a 36led strip for "peugeot 206" off ebay, that wouldnt fit in it, and all the wiring looked different. Couldn't follow any of the intructions and looked everyone online, so I sent it back.

Next I thought i'll buy a w5w/501/wedge bulb in blue for it. It arrived but when i went to fit it, it wouldn't fit into the silver whole gap. It is getting caught on the blue part and just wont go through to where its meant to sit.

So I'm wondering if anyone else has managed to turn their interior lights blue, how did you do it? And where and what did you exactly buy please?

Thanks a lot!

Just search eBay for blue SMD 501 interior light. Got mine form there and it's only about two quid if that.

you couldn't point me to which one you bought could you please? It's just that the blue outer plastic bit on the one I bought just wont seem to fit because its too large, I've been looking at the measurements on this pic
 


and cant seem to find one that matches it :/


thanks Smile

i bought some smaller bulbs than that cheap (10 for £1.50 i think) for my old saxo and they didnt fit in all i did was trim some very small slivers off the edges of the plastic base of the LED and eventually they slid in.

as long as the two contacts are still touching it should work fine

thanks so much, got out the nail file and had a go at a bit of plastic blocking it on the entrance thing. works like a joy Smile
