I have changed interior lights to LEDs on a MY13 and MY12 without problems. I used Banggood, they are slow but the link below shows those I use. They make a huge difference to the light. Try to get those with the built-in cooling fins.

interior festoon is 42mm
boot festoon 39mm

Thanks Turbo - Yes I checked mine yesterday and 42mm is right for the roof bulbs and the boot one measures 37mm so I guess a 36mm should do the trick.

2013 Freelander 2 SD4 XS Auto Orkney Grey

Old thread I know , but anybody know if the interior boot light is on a different fuse to the other interior lights ( F57).
All others are working fine but can't get the boot light to work? FL2 SD4 XS 2013 Orkney Grey

Some of the LEDs need to oriented the right way. Try reversing it in the holder. Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.

Had another look this morning and discovered that the rear boot light has a dodgy connection in the bulb holder, a bit of bending and it is working again.
Another mystery emerged ! I took out fuse F57 before I started fiddling but the interior lights remain on ? This fuse did deaden the visor vanity lights and the glovebox light but not the interior and luggage compartment light? So does anyone know which fuse these are on? The fuse box info in the Owners handbook doesn't mention them.
As a side note, I discover from the operating handbook that the auto mode which turns on the interior lights when a foo is opened can be activated/deactivated by pressing the switch for 3 seconds? This may have cause some of my confusion with the lights not working. Quite how you press for 3 seconds on a rocket switch I am not sure? FL2 SD4 XS 2013 Orkney Grey

The interior lights aren't fused, they are powered from the CJB. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.
