Styling Interior l.e.d

One more question, how do I put the cable in the number plate lights? They're tiny with no room for anything...

Give me half hour and will go take a photo for you dude okay pal I will message you when done

Hey no worries I didn't know either until I asked on here, which is how I now know and I know a picture paints a thousand words when it comes to stuff like this dude

Can I be a pain in the ar$e and ask for a pic of the front lights too?

The cables don't go into the lights. Only the LED's do. And the cables connect to the back of the LED's and then to the powere source. So the cables sit outside of the bulb housing. All will become very clear once you actually have them in front of you

It's normally power cable directly into bulb and the bulb pushes into the lights what you do is take power cable out of bulb, stick resistor into power cable and the new LED into the other end of the resistor and stick the LED into the bulb housing leaving the cables dangling out the back

Normally
Power cable - bulb into light housing
Modified
Powe cable - resistor - LED into light housing

Here we go

Last picture is what you got if you take out the black diffuser and the bulb

 

[swift]

Then you plug the resistor into last picture which gives you an inline resistor which has a connection on the other end which is where your bulb goes.

you then push the bulb back into the diffuser it came out of then you got the second picture

just push the resistor up into the space and then your left with the first picture

 

[swift]

It's exactly the same as Mathew said for sidelights on front then just put the resistor inside with the BIG BLACK bung you take off to get to it

 

[Matthewr1990]

Don't fret if they don't work first time. They are one way fit only so you may need to flip the connectors until they work, and watch the resistor and bulbs they get hot pretty freaking quick.

Top tip dude breaking it down if it don't work turn the bulb around 180 degrees just trying to make it idiot proof.

Once all this is done turn your ignition key on and it will come up check number plate lights don't go biting the steering wheel turn it again to main beam then off and it won't come up again as if it's registered the fault being fixed

Dude it is a 5 min job but looks worse as trying to make it simple for you

Here's a few pictures of my interior lights. Not that great photos though. They really don't do them justice

Very cool. Always loved blue lights. I'd do it to every light in the car if I had the foggiest how to do it.

Thanks there supposed to be white and am the same as you i had the whole dash out with intensions of chamgin all the bulbs and soon found out that everythin is soldered on leds lol the only bulbs are the heater control panel lol and even then you can only change 2 bulbs

Oh I can see they're white mate sorry. My post was unclear. I just meant to say I like blue bulbs they look brilliant.

Yes I thought as much, they're all soldered onto chip boards. With patients and the right tools I bet it's pretty easy if not fiddly, but I'd rather not risk it to be honest.

 

[rossjay]

Lol its fine and yip its a pain to get all the bits out and i was thinkin about doin some diggin onlube to see if there was some boffin out there that could replace the little leds thats on the circuits

Funny you should say that. It actually does, and the LEDs I've fitted do it brilliantly. They're on just enough so you can see but not enough to distract you. And because they're LEDs they have a soft blue colour to them which looks fantastic'

Know this is a bit late, but my bravo doesn't have them, and would really like some! Do you think it's just a matter of replacing the interior light for one that has LEDs? Some nice dark red ones would really add the final touch!
