I think I'll leave the vanity mirrors till last as I read on here someone broke the glass when re fitting and I almost never use them. But I'm sure once I've done the rest I won't be able to resist, lol.
Going to order the rest of the interior lights next then the side lights, are they W5W wedge type? |

If they are the same as my 05, they are T10 for the side lights i think? Have ordered BA15s led's for my reverse lights too!

Are T10 and W5W the same thing? I've been thinking about these:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/CANBUS-Socke...I1RK225HJHRHEG might be a bit long but they do shorter ones as well, what do you think? |

So far, only done front reading, rear passenger (white) & luggage compartment in blue. Although the luggage compartment looks pretty cool in blue, it's quite dark and may change to white! Will try and take some pics but will definitely do some when everything complete!

I don't know if it's because my front reading lights are the festoon type but i have noticed that the light doesn't totally fill the lenses? I mean it only shines through a small square of the lens rather than the whole lens be lit up. Sorry if that sounds confusing??

So you're doing your exterior lights too? Let me know how they look as I'm interested in this.

I have nightbreakers as my main and dipped beams, the side light bulbs are a bit dim so thought i would see what led's are like, also, thought i would try the reverse lights as someone on here has said they are very effective? Will try and do some pics when complete, maybe about a week as waiting for the bulbs to arrive!
