LED footwell bulbs.

(1/3) > >>

PJC430:
Hey guys,

Has anyone on here changed their footwell lights to LED.

I have just tried to change them in my car assuming it would either be a festoon bulb or a 581 type, however it appears to be a sealed unit with a bulb inside.

If anyone has done this before or has a link to a similar thread then that would be great help.

Thanks!!

PJC

You can open the fitting by carefully bending the metal flaps out to separate the plastic piece from the metal. Then you can change the bulb and put it all back together  :happy2: 5 minute job, and I'm not at all technical

PJC430:
Fantastic, I was half tempted to having a go at doing that, but thought i would check first just in case.

What kind of bulbs are they? 581 fitment? Did you use canbus friendly bulbs?

Weston:
I'm sure they're w5w 501's. I did use canbus friendly ones, not sure if they need to be used though.

Do all Mk5 GTI's have footwell lights? I don't recall ever seeing mine on. My car is 05-build, 06-spec.
