#1: bright bulb for interior light? Author: karimali831, Location: EnglandPosted: Mon Jan 02, 2012 2:41 pm ---- Anyone recommend any bright white 501 bulbs for the interior light? I got LED's at Halfords, didn't work out right because size/positioning, bulb needs to shine down of course.
Thanks anyone.

I did this too. Was insanely bright, mine were blue though. Cost me less than £2 I think.

How did you wire yours in? If I leave the switch on (which I got around to fitting it properly flush in the casing) when the key is out the light starts to fade out but lights back up again and keeps doing that. If its not on it fades out and stays off as it should.

Author: drunknmunky, Location: Blackburn and CatterickPosted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 9:30 am ---- to wire it in mine came with like a 2 prong bit and loads of adapters to fit the fitting i just plugged the 2 prong into the original fitting and it worked as it should.....
#10: Re: bright bulb for interior light? Author: Rob2859, Location: HalifaxPosted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 9:35 am ---- mine was not so simple but never-mind. I am happy with the way it works just wondered. I like that when I unlock the car the windows light up blue
