Yeah it's obvious matey. Well sort of. All the little Glass wedge bulbs are replaced with the new white bulbs with 5 LEDs....Apart from the footwell bulbs. They need to be the Canbus type - slightly longer ones with 8 LEDs.

Also the Number plate and the sun visor bulbs are both 36mm festoons, but two of them will be Canbus ones with metal resistors on the back. They are for the number plates  :wink:

Ebay thinks Matt is away til the 6th of August. So if anybody isnt getting replies to emails or ebay orders that might be why. I tried to order the full 14 bulb set on ebay but it seems the 6 SMD 36mm bulbs are sold out. Have emailed Matt and am awaiting a reply. Will let you all know how I get on. Obligatory pics will be included.  :happy2:
