Just ordered 3 (2x interior 1 x boot) so should have them fitted in the coming few days

I will have a look at the footwells and then the vanity mirrors, and one day i may get round to the rear and side lights

Cheers everyone for the LED advice given  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Hi npinks,
in general, yes- but they may be a little too small (by 3mm) as the interieur lamps are 42 mm long. Only the boot lamp has a size of 39 mm. But maybe you can bend the copper contact a little to suit your size.

Just got the LED's and installed all three (boot and 2 interior)

like YF i too get a dim glow from the LED i thought this was the capacitors storing energy but they turn off totally if i switch the lights off by the black button, so i presume they must have a tiny bit of charge going through the circuit when driving. (maybe this could be utilized for illuminating the center console in the dark)

I sat in my car full locked for 5 minutes and they still had a dim glow, I shall see in the morning if they are still glowing

I don't think it anything to worry about


Not looked myself yet, what size are the footwell and mirror vanity lights to replace them too

(could change the passenger vanity light to a green LED to make the wife look like GROTBAGS) Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

just been out to the car and it appeared that the glow and dimmed down or possible that had fully turned off  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

The owners manual website says that the footwell bulbs are w5w

Does that mean this is the correct one from www.ultraleds.co.uk

U50158W (501) White 8 Led Super Wide Angle Led Bulb

I just bought myself the led boot light and one for interior light too. while I was on the site I bought a torch too http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/white-leds-meta...-1236.html It has 5 leds as opposed to the 3 leds on my other "walking to the pub torch" also is a inch shorter so should fit in my pocket easier , I will test it tonight .. extra care needed tonight as both the river and field are flooded so I will be walking along the flood bank with deep water on each side of me. If I don't make it back one of you guys can have my clear indicators and leds as Mrs George wont be bothered fitting them when the fl2 arrives.


I have bought a lead for £2 with a 2.5mm jackplug and a 3.5 mm one, This will connect my phone to the aux socket and with a 2gb memory card in the phone it will be my ipod!

blind faith and a modicum of luck!

Its a good little torch got me safely thru dog-poop alley on the way to the pub!
People from the village take their dogs for walks along the river path which I have to walk down to reach the pub and with out a torch its like playing russian pulette

just found a interesting post over on DISCO3 about cars with LED front side lights failoing the MOT due to the car not having white bulbs even though the LED was classed as white

i shall keep you posted on the outcome as one of them has his car in next week for a MOT

Went for the MOT this morning - took my UltraLEDS invoice stating Xenon white mini light towers just in case I found myself arguing the toss.

Just as well I took the invoice, the tester commented on how much he liked my sidelight and numberplate lights when handing me the MOT certificate so I was able to jot down the UltraLEDS part number on a post it note for him.

Nice update  '57 FL2 GS
