Interior bulb fitting ?????

Post by jackt33 »

Does anyone know a easy way to change your interior light bulbs in the mirror ? I have taken one out and will be replacing it with led's however it seems really difficult to get the bulb back in and I wondered if there was any technique to doing this ? Thanks

As in the bulb wont go back in or the led wont physically fit into the space?
There are two types of people on forums; those that give helpful advice, and the others

Well just fitting it back really, its kind of at a odd angle and trying to look underneath the mirror sat on the edge of the seat is kind of difficult. I wondered if it was easy to take the mirror off to just put them in facing down like on a table rather than trying to get it in looking underneath ?

I just did mine and I just gripped the edge of the festoon bit with long nose pliers.
But it is a pain especially on mine cause the socket attachment had corroded and didn't want to stay in place.
Also the LEDS I got seemed slightly shorter than the stock ones and wouldn't hold, so had to make some little aluminium foil crowns for each end so it fit in snug.
