    Hi folks,
    I want to change the main interior bulbs in the roof lining, as well as the number plate bulb. I want to change them for LED bulbs, seen photos and they look great.
    Does anyone know what sizes of bulbs to get, or where to buy them from?
    There are literally millions for sale on the net, all different sizes though!

    Thanks in advance

    you will need resistors if you want to fit led bulbs as the car will throw up a bulb warning light on the dash as led bulbs run at such a low voltage.
    you are best getting the led festoon bulbs as they are nice and bright.
    if i remember correctly they are 501 fitment

    All led bulbs use on cars come with resistors as they can't work on 12v. Some people wire three in series to use less resistors but as resistors are so cheap it's hardly worth it.

    I'm not at all technically minded, might just leave them alone!
