Title: Interior LED's
Post by: fazi123 on April 27, 2014, 12:36:31 am

Hi Guys,

I really want to brighten up the interior of the Golf Gti. I will be collecting it early next week, and wanted to get these bulbs in so I can change them over fairly quickly.

I know this has been asked a number of times, but I cant seem to find exactly what I'm looking for.

Is there a definitive list of LED bulbs I need in order to completely change the interior lighting. This includes the vanity mirrors, boot, and glove box.

If not could any of you guys post a list along with the sizes/type of bulbs needed? I would also be interested if any of you guys knew of a kit which was available which had all of the bulbs required.

Thanks in advance,
Faz

Hi Faz,

Got mine from this guy:

MK5 Golf LED set. Interior lights and Number plate lights.



*Front Map Lights..........5SMD W5W LED x2.


*Rear Map Lights..........5SMD W5W LED x3.


*Glovebox Light..........5SMD W5W LED x1.

*Boot Light..........42mm 8SMD Festoon CW5 LED x1.


*Footwell Lights..........8SMD CANBUS W5W LED x2.

***We have recently found out that some MK5's have an extra bulb in the front map light.

We think this could be just certain years of the TDI models that have 3 bulbs instead of 2, but please check.

If so you MUST inform Matt on your email, and order 1 extra 36mm Festoon LED.

Big thanks to Dodds-GTtdi for the info*** 

Followed this guide for the install.

I bought the set from Matt a week or 2 ago, really good service.

They were posted on the day I paid and delivered the next day and fairly easy to install.  Just make sure you disconnect the battery or the fuse when doing it as I managed to blow the fuse whilst changing mine.

Hi bud,

Yeap, not missed a beat since the day I fitted them. Still look the muts nuts at night time when you unlock the car, especially in a multi storey carpark.

Title: Re: Interior LED's
Post by: MC71 on April 29, 2014, 05:40:53 pm

^^^^ Have just had Xenons fitted with standard sides at the mo, have bought a few sets of LED sides to try of eBay, all say they are Error free and bright as hell but we will see, I want the bluey/white look of the xenons.

Not fitting them until I have the Bi-xenon bit done as they are a PITA to fit as I have sausages for fingers!  :laugh:
