Rippers 'never' finished black gti build
ChrisGT:
It was this kit (link below) I bought and am very pleased with it. The lights came in little bags with tags on each bag as to where they went as there are several different types of LED. Only tool I needed for most of them was a plastic trim pry tool and it was super easy. The only other tool I needed was iirc a small torx bit to remove the centre front dome light as this made it easier rather than trying to pull the bulbs down out of it with it still in the roof as they are hard to get a hold of and didn't want to break them.

You can see what they look like in my build thread. Very nice white light and at night when the interior lights come on then it's like daylight in the car.
Cheers,
Chris
Rippers:
Cheers Chris, now on the list of jobs :happy2:
ChrisGT:
No worries, I used this video as a reference too although he doesn't take the front dome down he just pulls the bulbs out from underneath:
My only other bit of advice is for the foot well and boot light make sure and disconnect the bulb holder from the wiring loom before putting the led in. I forgot to do this with the boot light, popped out the old one, put the new one in and it popped the fuse... doh! Thankfully I had a spare 7.5amp fuse so just replaced it and all working ok.
Just send me a pm if you get stuck and I can send you some more detailed pics of how I did them. I still can't believe how bright and white they are.
Cheers,
Chris
