What type of bulb is used for the following

Interior light (ceiling)
Boot light
Number plate

Also anyone know of any good white 501 bulbs (side lights) I did have ones that work for ages but then started blowing the fuse.

Also has anyone fitted daytime driving lights to their 6n2 ?

Boot and number plates are 36mm

Boot light is a 10W same as interior light

Number plates are 5W

I assume you are getting LED ones? Number plate ones especially need to be good quality.

Yeah they will be leds.

I did have a blue led interior light for a while but now want to change back to white but still keep it nice and bright.

Yeah they are great - excellent quality. They have outlasted all other number plate LEDs ive bought in the past as the quality is so much better.

What are these like to fit ?

Has any one else got/used these ?

The fact they are H3 means they wont work for a start.

Secondly, retrofitted HID kits under new MOT regulations are now illegal to be fitted to cars without headlights designed to take them. Its an instant MOT failure now. I wouldn't look to go down this road.

If you do, its an H7 bulb and your best bet is ebay - search for H7 Xenon HID kit. Aim to get one with slim ballasts as these are digital and start better.

I was gonna get h7 ones, but if its an instant MOT failure I wont bother.

Thanks once again

New light bulbs all fitted, will get around to taking a picture soon.

How easy is it to put speakers in your parcel shelf and then wire them all up to your cd player/ radio ?
