I want the door pins but I don't think it looks right with that black ring around the door card.

Yeah thinking the door pins stand out a bit too much...will consider them though
how to upgrade interior lights to SMD LED - bhalay207 - 16:th-Mar-2015
Gutted. Just tried to fit my interior bulbs and they are too big. They have two leds down the side so are too long and stop the light cover going back in place. Trying to get a smaller one from the seller but don't think he has smaller ones.

Awwww no! What a pain dude! :( wasn't these ones you got was it:

How long are they? I had longs in mine no problems at all.
how to upgrade interior lights to SMD LED - bhalay207 - 16:th-Mar-2015
Yeah they are sheppy.
Rusty they physically stick out of the light unit so I can't put the cover back on
how to upgrade interior lights to SMD LED - sheppy1 - 16:th-Mar-2015
Odd! Hope they are the correct ones, just spend £15 on loads of them :-/ ha.
how to upgrade interior lights to SMD LED - tucpal - 16:th-Mar-2015
i have just checked that link and it appears they are not the same as i ordered
they must have changed the listing the led bulbs i got from them only had one set of smds around the side
they were just like these ones

sorry chaps looks like i will have to change that link i have no idea how it has changed at all
how to upgrade interior lights to SMD LED - bhalay207 - 16:th-Mar-2015
You wasn't to know Tucpal. The seller has come back to me to say he doesn't have any with the one led down the side.
how to upgrade interior lights to SMD LED - sheppy1 - 16:th-Mar-2015
Awwww damn :( will have to speak with the seller to see if I can return them then.
So are those new ones you linked too the Correct ones?
how to upgrade interior lights to SMD LED - bhalay207 - 16:th-Mar-2015
They look like right to me. There's only 7 packs left apparently.

yes mate i am looking at all the links now and trying to find out what has happened here
loads have got them using that link but it has changed for some reason
the correct link has been updated really sorry chaps they should still fit the boot light and glove box but if they have two smd on the side
they wont fit the reading lights
how to upgrade interior lights to SMD LED - sheppy1 - 16:th-Mar-2015
It's okay mate, not your fault
Will see where these 2 SMD ones fit when they turn up and then I'll buy some of the others for the places where the others don't fit
how to upgrade interior lights to SMD LED - sheppy1 - 16:th-Mar-2015
Bought three packs of those new ones anyway, have asked the other seller if I can return those other ones too. Only bought enough of the new ones for the roof lights so fingers crossed I can use some of the bigger ones for the boot and glove compartment
how to upgrade interior lights to SMD LED - sheppy1 - 17:th-Mar-2015
They were indeed too long for the roof lights...but I've managed to install them in the boot and glove compartment
how to upgrade interior lights to SMD LED - tucpal - 17:th-Mar-2015

how to upgrade interior lights to SMD LED - sheppy1 - 17:th-Mar-2015

how to upgrade interior lights to SMD LED - tucpal - 17:th-Mar-2015
if you go for the twin LED in the boot they look even better

Looks good! I need that! Do you have a link to the how to anywhere? i can't seem to find it but i'm sure there was one...
how to upgrade interior lights to SMD LED - tucpal - 17:th-Mar-2015

how to upgrade interior lights to SMD LED - sheppy1 - 17:th-Mar-2015
Okay thanks mate
how to upgrade interior lights to SMD LED - Rusty2009 - 17:th-Mar-2015
No I never did one
how to upgrade interior lights to SMD LED - sheppy1 - 17:th-Mar-2015
Awesome! Thanks for that
how to upgrade interior lights to SMD LED - tucpal - 17:th-Mar-2015
took me a year to get the car how i wanted it
cheers rusty a how to is needed for that there was a thread somewhere on here about it
how to upgrade interior lights to SMD LED - sheppy1 - 17:th-Mar-2015
Haha easy to see why! So much that can be done with these cars isn't there and it's fun doing it too :P. I think I have about 8 things on my to do list now!!! Ha.
That may have been what i saw then if I didn't see a how to
how to upgrade interior lights to SMD LED - bhalay207 - 17:th-Mar-2015
Don't even get me started on my to do list lol
how to upgrade interior lights to SMD LED - sheppy1 - 17:th-Mar-2015
Hahaha it's probably longer than mine tbh, most of my stuff is fairly straight forward retrofits too but there's a lot more I don't have on it which id like to do but will cost too much :(
Also the LEDs look fine in the dark
how to upgrade interior lights to SMD LED - bhalay207 - 9:th-Apr-2015
Well worth the upgrade. The car looks so much classier inside. Thanks for the heads up guys
