Interior lights installed but...

Plutonus · 19-02-2007, 04:25 PM

OK i installed some new blue LED interior lights (yay!). But the ones in the door are larger so the cover doesnt fit over them anymore. Whats best option? Custom covers?

Buy the correct one's to fit. They come in all different shapes and sizes.

But it said size 501 (afaik that is the correct size) on the LEDs. So what the.

Semi non related but if you replaced all your interior lights with LED ones do you think your battery would still go flat if you left the door open overnight?

Plutonis: You need this bulb to work properly.

What colour do you want? I have blue, blue or blue.

Are they LED? But mine still look awesome without the covers, 6 bulbs is great. Just worried they'll get damaged.

Yup, they're LEDs, from http://www.superbrightleds.com/ (the picture url).
Rupewrecht's are LEDs too. Buy some from him

Ok weird problem. Sorta related to this. Ever since I got my car drivers side door light doesnt work. So I open up the door casing have a fiddle with some cables. Now it works, but only when the door is open fully. When u start shutting it the light either goes off compeltely or just fades a lot, like its getting hardly any power. Any ideas?

Rupewrecht · 20-02-2007, 04:00 PM

A bad connection...possibly a broken wire inside the coating, by the sound of it.

Plutonus · 20-02-2007, 04:13 PM

Eek. Would that be a bad wire inside the car? Because theres probably a bazillion metres of it. Interesting to note, the drivers side door is a mess. The Plastic has that black stuff all over it and its all over the wires. So I'm guessing you might mean the black wire going from the light casing to the white thing which it then changes into coloured wire?
