  • LED Bulbs Changeover

    I changed the stock parking lights and replaced with LED's. Also changed the door step lights to LED's which now matches the IPF Fatboy bulbs .

    I'll also be replacing the Festoon bulbs x 2 and lights above the rear view mirror x 2 to LEDS.

    Warning: Just be careful when removing the door step light cover. Insert a small screw driver to lever the tab from the top. For the bottom tabs, the tabs has to levered/pressed from the inside i.e from inside top. DO NOT INSERT anything from below the light cover as you may damage the door trimmings and light cover.

    I have now replaced all 4 lights on the door to LEDs. I found a better way to remove the lens covers, see below:

    Insert screw driver (small):



    Press tab downwards from the top and pull outwards:



    Insert screw driver on the side and pull outwards. Hold onto lens cover to stop it from falling off:



    Replace bulb, put the lens cover back and slot it in (you may have to wiggle or use a screwdriver to remove the existing bulb out).





    When Complete:

              "damonat"]dustie, i've done all of mine except rear indicators (not bright enough).
              When buying the LEDS look for the High Power. They are brighter than the ones advertised as 4 LED etc....Try link below. They offer bulk discounts too, so you can do Samo's and others too :lol: :lol: :lol:

                I actually put a LED unit into the main light of the car about three weeks ago.

                I purchase on of these from Jaycar (paid $15.00 at the time)

                LED Festoon Light Globe 12VDC 33mm



                These do fit but it is uncomfortable as the standard bulb is, from memory, only 31mm long and this is wider so has to sit in on an angle.

                I'm happy but I was hoping for something brighter so I will continue searching. In the mean time the LED is staying in the car.

                  Yes they are 31mm can be bought for cheaper from eBay....
                  Bought mine from these two sellers. Also the BA9s for the ones in the front.

                    These are the bulb sizes for the lights I've changed.

                    Map reading lights - 2 x BA9s
                    Glove Box - 1 x T5
                    Dome Centre and Rear - 2 x 31mm Festoon
                    Door - 4 x T10
                    Parking (front) - 2 x T10
                    Number Plate (Rear) - 2 x T10
                    Parking (ARB Bullbar) - 2 x BA15s [T18]

                    Purposely I haven't changed any of the signal lights because the LEDs against an orange reflector made it look like Yellow

                          About $50 with a few extra bulbs as spares.

                              Hopefully sometime (soon) in September '08.

                              Reading all these threads on PP is slowly helping to pass the time... but also costing me a small fortune as well. Too many ideas to add to the car.
