Post by: Tuffy on May 09, 2010, 09:16:38 pm
Evening all!

I'm guessing most of the led interior bulb uogrades are available on trusty ebay?
Does anyone sell a complete set to do all the interior in one hit ? inc footwell lights

Chris where did you get them from?  Are they much different? 

I got the LED ones from ebay and tbh they are not the best.

Thank's CamelUK! I did try running searches on here but couldn't see anything in as much detail.

Cheers!
