Festoon Interior Bulbs... which ones for where!?!

[LeonFR07DSG]

Searched and found a few threads but none that specifically tells me what festoon led bulbs i need for which particular lights i am changing...

http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/Festoon-LED-Bulbs/

found this site... are these the correct ones i need?

if so could someone be so kind as to direct me to which ones i need to change the interior lights at the front.. (think theres 3 bulbs in there on the roof) and the rear interior roof lights... and also the number plate lights...

thanks !

I would like to know this too. What type of bulb and how many.

I found this but can't view the pics or convert it in work - http://www.leon2passion.com/tutoria...e-ampoules-navettes-w5w-plafonniers-t1117.htm

Also want to know this


I want to know what bulbs i need to replace Front Interior Lights , Rear Interior lights and Boot lights with LED's

 

[b9rgo1234]

5x 36mm festoons, 2 go in the sun visor lights, 1 in the light in the front, 2 in the rear light unit
2x 501 bulbs, also for the light in the front
I used a 44mm in the boot, its a little big but it fits

search fleebay for canbus 501 leds, if you dont use these the lights will stay dimmly lit when your driving

 

[AndrewJB]

Do the Festoons need to be Can-Bus friendly aswell ?


My Ibiza Interior Festoon was always dimmly lit when driving

 

[b9rgo1234]

Only one of the bulbs need to be a canbus led, so yes you could put one festoon in the light in the front. I changed both 501s cos they came in pairs.

 

[b9rgo1234]

The number plate LEDs also have to be Canbus LEDs, these are 38mm

 

[AndrewJB]

Right im a tiny bit confused now

501 Sidelight bulbs are sold as Can-Bus friendly , ive got 2 already in the headlights and work fine with me HID's

Whats confusing me is Festoon bulbs arent sold as Can Bus Friendly so ....

If i fit 5x Festoons and 2x 501 Can Bus's - Am i or Arent i going to get a warning light coming on?

 

[b9rgo1234]

Fit 5 standard led festoons and 2 501 canbus leds and all will be fine. I have that exact setup in my car just now, no lights staying on.

 

[AndrewJB]

Good Good

Had to fit Resistors to me OLD HID kit from me Ibiza aswell What a a pain the Can-Bus System is

 

[b9rgo1234]

It is a pain and a half, but the end results are worth it

 

[Donnyboy]

Could you fit 1 canbus festoon in the front and the rest normal LED's?

 

[Donnyboy]

I think these are maybe whats needed?

5 of these - http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/37mm-leds-festoon-output-cool-white-p-1496.html
2 of these - http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/501194t10-anti-bulb-warning-xenon-white-wide-angle-p-2085.html
1 of these - http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/42mm-leds-festoon-output-cool-white-p-1487.html

Thats £37.

Yea Donnyboy that should work. As long as 1 of the bulbs is canbus friendly then the lights will go out when driving. The Canbus LEDs tend to be a bit brighter than the standard LEDs though.

I see what you mean. The 501 bulbs will be the same light level and match each other and the 5 festoon bulbs will all be the same light level and also match.

Instead of 1 canbus festoon that looks different from the other festoons.

 

[b9rgo1234]

Yep, woohoo, 15 posts. i'll get a picture up in a min

 

[b9rgo1234]

Standard festoon, with canbus leds. I got them off ebay, they have 2 leds on each side. I see in your link it had 1 larger one on the top which might be better.

And standard leds in the rear. One looks brighter but its just the picture.

 

[AndrewJB]

Looks spot on exactly what im after

 

[b9rgo1234]

Cheers mate, I'll get some pictures tonight of the number plate leds.

 

[Donnyboy]

I ordered 2 of these earlier for the number plate. - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Seat-LED-Numb...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item4a9b3343fd

They seem to be sold in pairs if anyone orders from them. Qty1 is a pair I think.
