I am planning to do this, as I have a spare light unit and I am going to go a bit further adding a light at the bottom of the two front doors, so when the door open, it will light up the ground below. This is what SWMBO requested.....

SWMBO is a genius! My brother's old Scorpio had those in the bottom of the front doors. I think it would be easier to fit lights to the door pocket, instead of to the underside of the door itself and would minimise the risk of setting off the old 'steel cancer'. I think the passenger footwell light is a great idea too, as it does look like a bulb has blown, when you open the door and only the driver's well lights up. Roll on the spring, so I can get some decent daylight to do this sort of thing again. Gary

Dodgy LEDs

My bad. I also used some 5x SMD LEDs in the side markers, which didn't touch the lenses at all. Just type in '5 x 501 SMD LED' into e-bay and the list will appear. Sorry, can't remember which ones I bought, just that they were 5's, instead of 9's or 10's. Gary

Big improvement. Can anyone link me to the bulbs I'll need for the headlights and side lights? Looks like an easy job
Thanks

These ones for the side markers: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/W5W-501-Si...item4cf62eae8d If you can wait, you can get them from Hong Kong, for even less cash. Gary
