Led interior lighting

[char1s]

Pretty sure the frosted plastic prises out, someone else will have to clarify as Im yet to do mine.

Also there is a list in this thread of which bulbs are required.

Maybe yes. I didnt find any place to pull it out.
Anyway somebody should know and help me.

Can you share with me the list just for the 3 bulbs of the picture above?

Thank you

These are the ones?

3 of them? Do we need any information on dimensions?

Are they 12 V? When are you replacing yours? Do you have a Seat Leon II?

 

[Daniel M]

I should be doing mine tomorrow, so I can let you know then.

Yes I have a Mk 2 pre facelift.

Hello char1s, looking at your link I take it you are not in the UK? Where are you from?
The light cluster will come apart if you have a thin knife or screw driver and place in each side of the light housing (front) and gently prise apart on each side (front) which should then come off, you can then get to the bulbs in question.

I think from the link you provided the LEDs seem to be ok but like other members on hear have said use my links and also the list of all the bulbs within this thread so that you get a general idea on what you will need.

Hope this helps you.

I am from Cyprus. I usually order things from Aliexpress.com so i would be very grateful if you could help me match the products and order them from there.

Thanks for your response.

Here is a link from the website you use for the festoons for the rear interior LEDs.

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/10pc...-Light-Bulbs-LED-License-Plate/568692698.html

You will need x2 39mm for rear lights and vanity mirrors x2.
Also x1 42mm for boot
And for the reg lights x2 36mm

Use your original link for the front interior lights x3 501 and x1 for the glove box.

Hope this helps.

I just want for the front interior lights, of the picture below.
I do not have rear lights maybe because I have a sunroof, I am not sure.

btw these LED lights are good quality lights, and are a good light upgrade or I will face any strange issues after this activity?

Well I fitted the bulbs which had arrived so far which were the rear interior lights, 2 of the front interior lights & the boot light. I did have some issues in that mine doesnt have a light in the glove box but as I had 2 of these bulbs I put them in my sidelights. My main problem is that the front interior map light (passenger side) has stopped working as I think I have knocked the connector for it as it wont come on at all but was working fine earlier.

I am still waiting for the bulbs to arrive for the vanity lights and one more bulb to go in the front interior unit.

Can anyone who has a pre fl FR let me know if they have a glove box light please?

Anyway here's the boot light & rear interior lights. Somehow the knob has come off at some point on the rear interior light lol.

Try turning the bulb

I have and I've tried each bulb in each holder and another spare bulb. I must of disturbed something as the button for that light got stuck somehow and I had to move some bits inside the unit to get the spring free.

My 07 plate FR has no glovebox light... poo!

Ah well must be just the facelift models that have them.

Hey, I know this is an old post but with regards to actually getting to the bulbs. Is it a case of just prodding with a flat head screwdriver or interior removal tool. I can see a lip for me to get to the glovebox light but that is about it. I'm wanting to upgrade all my interior bulbs front/rear, vanity & glovebox on my 58 Leon FR pre-facelift.

 

[G4reth]

I think you'll be ok with just a small flathead screwdriver to prise the covers off.

 

[unerdanielson]

Thanks, I've sussed how to get the vanity bulbs out. With regards to the interior front and rear I can only assume the grey housing comes out with the bulb covers?

This is how to get to the bulbs on the front interior courtesy light unit...

I've two spare led bulbs for the boot light if anyone wants one as I bought 3 to do the interior lights then realised they were the wrong bulbs (doh) they're too big for the vanity light so used one for the boot as its the correct bulb for there. Then got myself back on eBay to order the correct bulbs ha.
I'm in the northeast if anyone wants one, cant see me having any other use for them as the only place that uses that size led is the boot.

Just get a thin knife or screwdriver and prise the frosted plastic out, no need to take the whole unit out.

Thanks, those guides have been real helpful!
