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 ?

Interior light is 42mm
Boot and number plates are 36mm

Cheers Alex

Interior light is it 12v 10w ?
Boot and number plates is it 12 v 5w ?

Getting back into doing a few things with my car again after what seems ages.

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.

are these good then would you recommend mine are not really that bright and could do with some good ones.

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.

Just ordered my new bulbs

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 ?
