[n13l pm]

Nice one!! I have just ordered some myself!

Which ones did you go for?

(Super Fast Delivery on these from hong kong, I ordered on friday late afternoon and had them on monday morning.)

I ordered 2x dome 31mm 9leds interior.

I wanted 4 but he only had 2 available..... We will test these and I may order some more!

You need 5 for all inside, tow at front, one over each rear door and one on rear.

I know, but the only ones I use are the front ones... mine are bust... if they work as planned I will replace the others as well.

The 233 6led bulbs you had, was it the same type as the picture above? also did you have your HIDs while you had then connected? Because I know normal heaglight bulbs get too hot for led sidelights.

Hmm I guess BA9S bulbs are the same size/spec as 233s?

I read some where that they are the same and they look the same, but these are the only bulbs i havnt got around to installing, as their such a mission. I will do it this weekend (i did test them and they do work). Will let you know.

OK no probs....just typical just the mere talk about changing these damn sidelight bulbs and last night one has blown, just after I have had all the HIDs out and refitted!

[pezza]

Will try both the refracted and high power bulbs see how they last.

Bit late to this, but PSB - My GLS didn't dim/delay the interior light. My GDI does. It's a change to the facelift models.

You could create a dimming effect with a few capacitors and resistors... this will effect the flashing effect though.

This may be for UK models, but my ex Japan pre-facelift '97 has the interior/courtesy light delay and slow dim when the door is closed. It also flashes when you lock the door, and comes on when you unlock the door (before you open it) from the remote.

Or did you mean that the feature was deleted on facelift models? Not familiar with your cars so just realised it could be either way round.

UK Facelifts do have it, UK pre-facelifts don't.

I have the delay/dimmer on my 96 legnum as well

Hi guys, ordered some of those bulbs and they came today, spent about ten minutes fitting and took some piccies, you can see the comparison, from dull orange to bright white. Much nicer, and still dimms! Just done the interior for now, will possibly do some more at a later date. Sorry for the poor quality.

Drool! Mehinks I need some of these!

K - There's different types - these are the multi-led ones. If you get single 1W LED ones they may be brighter. I'll talk to you about them at the weekend.
