Internal Lighting

well the little courtesy light in the very back of the truck broke a while back and try as i may i can not find a replacement for it, so instead i'm thinking of replacing it with one of these Light Linky

One out of a Pug 106/saxo will fit in if you trim back the plastic that the light clips into as I know Ryan did it on his:augie might work out cheaper for you if you have a good scrap yard near by:thumb2

Looks interesting, I've been thinking about something like that but mounting in the side trims to illuminate under the load cover. Mind you until I know whats going on with the job spending is on hold:doh

If you get one let me know how it goes please.

Let us know how you get on with them, and how bright they are, I am looking to replace the glovebox light, and I also want a light under the bonnet, and if that is bright enough, it would be perfect.

Oh will be cheaper to order that light then & get 2 male spade connectors so it plugs straight into the factory wiring loom:augie

Never took the bulb out of my glove box yet but think it's a 501 bulb thats fitted, fancy an under bonnet light as well not so I can see the engine but so the bonnet vent lights up white in the dark:lol:lol:lol

i accidentally ordered 3 of them lights so now i'll have to find somewhere for the spare 2 :lol

Mine never had a glovebox light, so I robbed the one out of the Volvo 480, but it is not a very good fit, and spends more time not working than working... time to start from scratch and re-do the job properly this time.

well i fit the new light, excuse the photos i was balancing on a childs seat :lol

Looks pretty good, but it's hard to tell from camera pictures... What do you thunk of it?

Also how does it fit in with the trim, does it look "meant to be"?
