Could anyone advise where I can find a suitable interior LED bulb? it's just too dim with the standard bulb.

I've also just replaced the exterior side lights with LED's and it's transformed the look along with the HIDs, a lot more modern.

Thanks!

Trouble with LED side light bulbs is that the side light enclosure is very small so doesn't dissipate heat very well. Contrary to popular belief LED bulbs do actually generate a bit of heat, which is an LED's worst enemy.

If you drive with the lights on for long periods you'll likely find that they fail quickly. Certainly did with me, as I went through about 5 of the bloody things before calling it a day and reverting to blue tinted standard bulbs. Been fine ever since.
