*sigh* Owned my car for a week or so now and i finally...

Noticed i have tinted lens for my interior lights and i mean all interor lights in the roof.. Is that some factory option or after market thing?

I must admit they look pretty damn mint.

sorry for this noob question.

Not factory as far as I'm aware. But not that difficult to do I guess. Does it dim the lighting too much though?

[Oggie]

not at all.. 1st time i noticed was when i went to flick on the interior light.

must be factory as my legnum also has it. i take it you mean the two lights over head just back from the rearvision mirror.

I rarely drive at nighttime tbh, I will have a closer look today. will take some pics too if possible with my uber crappy 2mp cell ph.

Ok now with pics. light on and light off.

all my bulbs seem to have blown, now its dark when i leave work got a work mate to knock these up for me, should be brighter than standard and less chance of draining the battery as minimal juice required. Its a standard feston bulb with feed taken to 8 LED's on seperate board. Hopefully sort them out one evening when I can actually work out how to get the bloody covers off, just seems to start pulling out of the roof lining then get stuck!!

You can already buy LED interior bulbs like that

There are also different sized with different numbers of LEDs.

The tint's in the lenses are standard factory type as far as i know they all have them.

the lighting assembly in between the front to seats in the roof will easily come out if you take the screws out that hold it in place. prize the lens off with a small flat bladed screw driver in the notches provided. you should then be able to see the screws.
