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.

yeah they do come in a pair, bought a set from the same ebayer the other day and they look spot on!

you gonna love them..

No just the number plates, the rest of the festoons inside are just the standard LEDs. Its a bit pricey to do the whole lot in canbus friendly bulbs. I got the 501 canbus from the same seller on ebay too

thanks for all the replys guys... really helped...

What about the glovebox and the light in the boot... what size are those? 37mm again? canbus or not? or is it the 2 canbus lights in the fton interior light cluster will be fine for then all of the rest to not be canbus...?

edit: ignore me its the 42mm for the boot... but noone has mentioned the glovebox light?

 

[b9rgo1234]

I dont have a glovebox light I would guess its a 36mm too, just pop it out and measure it.

 

[b9rgo1234]

Here are a few pics of the finished project

Sorry for the crappy pics guys

 

[LeonFR07DSG]

Looks good mate! What sidelights do yo have? I don't have a glovebox light either! What a muppet thought I did!

 

[b9rgo1234]

They are the same 501s i have in the interior light, linky in post 24 No need for any resistors now.

Fitted the number plate LED tonight and they look great. Tilted them at a 45 degree angle in the holder so the leds are pointing toward the car at an angle. They were very bright when the LED's were pointing right down.

They didn't come on at first so I turned the bulbs end to end in the holder and on they came.

How do you disassemble the interior light units without breaking them?
The one in front can be opened a bit from the rear part of the unit but it wont come out and the rear light unit seems to be attached really well from the middle where the light switch is.
I'm afraid I'll break something if I start forcing them open without knowing how to do it correctly.

Bringing this up again as someone mentioned 36mm festoons yet a link was to 37mm... Which one is it? Don't want to end up with expensive LEDs I can't get to fit properly...

 

[White_Lady_170]

I just can't get this main light unit at the front to budge!! Ahhh...

What am I doing wrong? Can someone tell me where the main clips are or what way I go about prizing this off? It's in soo tight!

Help wanted asap! Thankyou!

 

[b9rgo1234]

Hi White Lady, insert a small flat blade screwdriver where the arrows are and pop it out. Its just the clear bit you need to remove.

cheers mate, much appreciated! I was trying to take the whole damn thing off...
