Interior Light Bulbs ?
« on: October 28, 2019, 10:53:16 AM »
Hi,
Does anyone know the specs for the front Map Light bulbs & central Ceiling light bulb so I can get some LED Bulbs, please.
The handbook only gives the wattage as 8W, not the size.
Thanks in advance
John

All interior bulbs I believe are 501 bulbs.

Remove the central ceiling light and then measure  the lenght of the bulb, it will be easier. They should be W5W, so 27mm long. https://mechanics.stackexchange.com/questions/52452/car-bulbs-t10-w5w-501-what-do-numbers-and-letters-actually-mean
In the central ceiling light there is space to mount a bigger LED bulb, while in the front map light you must use bulbs with the same lenght of the OEM one. Longer bulbs will touch the transparent cover when you push it trying to switch on the light, which will be impossible to do.
Ps pay attention to the front map lights: they get power directly from the battery, no timer and no ECU will switch them off when you close the car, and the battery will suffer.
