Hi Blitzer. I have the same problem with the interior lights staying dimly lit ALL THE TIME; I do hope a forum member can tell us what is wrong and how to fix it.

The front overhead LED in mine also glows dimly when driving - but it is the only one. I converted the interior lighting of mine into a tart's boudoir by fitting all blue LEDs and I quite like having the dim blue light on whilst driving. Sad I know, but hey, who cares! John

Checked my overhead lights tonight (LED ones) and no light after switching off or going out when starting the ignition. They behave exactly as the old filament ones did.

Replaced all the 5W wedge type today, great improvement all round although the wing mirror ones were a s t to open up. Still confused however on which festoon type to buy for the boot and overhead internal lights? Any advice greatly received such as number of LEDs per lamp, 42mm or 44mm etc. And as for the reverse polarity reading lamps - reverse polarity?????

CG, I think it is a HSE thing as I was able to purchase one of those units from Duckworth's to fit in my 07 SE (now gone) and as the 09 SE was fitted with the 3 light unit, fitted the unit removed from the 07 on trade-in to the rear light position and much used by rear seat passengers.

Martin, used Fizzmo a few times now - great service via eBay. Do I go with 3 or 6 LED's per festoon lamp? Want a decent amount of light but not on a Blackpool illuminations scale.

I went with 6 in the boot (fizzmo), but I think I overdone it, looks like it came from Wembley stadium. It does give of great light in the dark though, i can see what I'm doing so I'm not going to change it.

Hi Fred, What is involved in fitting an interior light above the loadspace as I have a spare unit I could use for this. I would then propose to remove the lamp (Bulbs grow and lamps glow as my boss always told me whilst I was an apprentice) in the original loadspace fitting so that I could via the on/off switch of the replacement unit decide when I needed illumination in the load space. This is important to me as whilst acting as a Safety Radio Car on rally's I switch off the interior lights to reduce battery load, as we are in and out of the car at regular intervals which means the OME loadspace fitting comes on every time a door is opened and stays on when it is not required. Any tips would be appreciated. Bill T Life Honorary Member of Wallasey Motor Club. Licenced MSA Radio Operator for 35+ years. Rallying is the only sport. |
