led light mod
I have seen on the fleabay a kit to change the bulb in the bumper marker light to an led version as of course they are more reliable. Is it worth doing and what exactly is involved? I have a '97 v40 2.0 cd

just makes a brighter light thats all, if its a good one it should just be a straight swap for your bulb if not search again for a direct replacement led as its so much easier.

Unless your bumper side marker light is out I would leave well alone, your side markers are a sealed unit and can be a real pig to remove, I also tend to think using after market led's in the side markers is going to make them too bright.
If memory serves me correctly I believe someone on this forum managed to replace the side marker bulb but it involved splitting the side marker then resealing it to make it water tight. |

replacement kit
the kit is a replacement bulb, as the original unit is sealed, and a whole unit must be purchased should a bulb fail. the later models have a conventional bulb, of which can easily be replaced.
