LED Interior lights

[Shoppinit]

Wins prize for most pointless mod?

At least it shows how to get the door panel off.

[Mr Footlong]

Thanks Mav but I think that may be one of those "haven't got anything else left to mod" jobs

Footers, I hope you don't have to return any of your ultraled LEDs - their aftersales service is truly crap. I am pissed off because they won't honour the warranty on some LEDs I bought recently - not only that but they are fcuking rude, too.

@everyone else: if you can find those bulbs elsewhere then you'll be saving yourself a headache if you ever have to return any.

[Mr Footlong]

Never saw your reply Shopp. Happy to report that all even with 3 cars that are fully decked out with LED lighting, no failures at all yet.

[Mr Footlong]

Bringing this back from the dead, holy crap my soldering game has improved since I made these monstrosities up, but you don't see any of that anyway. Just for the hell of it, almost 5 years on, all modded units still working perfectly, zero failures in either this car or the 4, did the same mods to her too.

[Mark-RS]

Since this thread is years old and likely out of date, has anyone tried the eBay ones ?

Apparently plug and play ? No soldering, butchering etc required...

Fpr less than 25 fine English pounds i'm considering taking a gamble on them.
