I've searched but cant find (?)..........i thought a few people changed all their interior and exterior bulbs recently ?


I've just parked car in my garage and on getting out i noticed the rear interior courtesy light wasnt working.

Anyone know the bulb specs off the top of their head so i can get one on order tonight ?


Cheers chaps


******A list of all interior / exterior bulbs might also make a great sticky.
 
T10 501 5w5 Push Wedge Bulbs - these are used for all interior lights apart from glove box, and are also used for number plate and sidelights

Think they're generically known as 501's, not sure what the T10 or 5w5 bit means, but that's what mine were labelled up as

Dont suppose you happen to know if the rear numberplate lights are the same ?
 
Info just gets better.

Wanna pop over and fit them too......... (Humour !)

Cheers buddy. Very helpful.
 
Haha they're nice and easy to fit :smile: if at first they dont seem to work, rotate the bulb 180 degree's and try again. If that still doesn't work, try just bending the metal pins out very slightly so ensure a connection.

It's a fantastic improvement all round once they're done, cant stand yellow halogens.

ETA: Oh also be very careful when removing the plastic covers on both the interior and number plate bulbs. I cracked the plastic number plate cover in half trying to remove it. Thankfully a bit of superglue worked great and it's hidden out of view anyway

Pretty sure all mine have been done before i got the car.

Rears interior seems to have blown - unless switched off ? And one of the rear numberplate bulbs blew, and i know my garage only had a standard bulb to put in - not a white LED.

So swapping those over will cover a few and i'll get some others for spares.


Thanks for your help.
 
Check your rear headlining bulb as I only have one in mine, with space for only one. I used the two spare in that kit for the door puddle lights
 
If you have the halogen ones in there, be careful getting them out as they are easy to shatter... I used pliers with some rag over it to pull them out.
