Interior bulb upgrades

Post by Luigi_S » Wed Feb 14, 2018 7:00 am

Hi everyone, Has anyone upgraded the interior bulbs to LED type? Looking to change the dull looking original bulbs. Is there any downfalls in using LEDs for all the interior bulbs?

Mine came with this done.
They look like ebay led bulbs but not had any problems at all (2002 e53).

I got a set of LED interior bulbs off ebay for £17. They definitely brighten the cab up and don't burn as much energy

I put some in the tailgate of our black one. They are like football stadium lights compared to mine.
