Number plate lights, and sidelights, interior/vanity lights...

[AlanJRobson]

Help!!!

Really want to change mine to white LED's especially for the number plate..

Really no clue where to start?

Sorry if this topic has been covered over n over?

Where can i buy them from etc, which colours are best?

Also interior lighting...

Been in my gf's 59 graphite a fair bit recently and i must say the mood lighting is rather nice..

Interested in changing the orange lights to a subtle blue, i.e the door handle lights, the foot well/vanity lights..

Cheers,

Alan.

Correct me if i am wrong, but the mood lighting on the newer models (ie R56 )has a switch to change the colour from orange/purple/pink to blue, well mine has it anyway. I changed my sidelights, indicators, interior lighting on my r50, just removed the lamp (bulb), checked what the code was on it and searched in ebay, No probs.

I think there is a basic version of moodlighting which is just one colour. Not sure how you could go about changing that as im sure iv been told they are done by fiber-optic :confused:

As for courtesy lights hit up Mikey to make sure but im pretty sure its mostly straight swap bulbs for led bulbs.

Try the Link above mate. Excellent way to visualise the idea and get some hints/tips along the way. The 1st photo with the interior of the R53 looks ace! :cool:
