    I like this idea. I mean, my brain was on "car door" but you are right, it could be anywhere. Even, say, when you open the garage door and it shines on the floor.

    I think LEDs should last .. emphasis on the "should".

    They quote 30,000 hours, but most are made in China so we'll see what the quality is like.

    For $25 including postage? I couldn't ship this to you from Melb for postage alone of less than $10 (excluding product). Sometimes I'm blown away by how they can include manufacturing, packaging, handling and postage for these kind of prices.

    Headlight globes (say Philips Extremevision H7s are more than that total.

    (side track, found a good place for globes, worldwide free shipping and they throw in equivalent W5W parking globes)

    Just added some "bling" to my interior lighting:


    I also got a set of white LEDs for the footwell just in case I've had enough of the blue.



    The LED lighting is a lot brighter and a whole lot whiter.

    Very nice. Can I ask where you got them from? and are they plug and play replacements?

    I bought mine from the parts for sale listing here: LED Interior Lights Mk4/Mk5/Mk6 - Last chance

    Added the extra couple of blue bulbs, though he also does red but I think blue is nice in the footwell.

    These are direct swap-out. Same connections so all you need to do is work out how to get into the overhead compartment to change over the bulb!!!!

    Apparently for $15 you can send them the image you want and they'll make a one-off.

    3 weeks to a month is par for postage from that region. (especially the free postage types). And with the christmas season, it could take longer. But it will be very nice to see the results from your car ..

    Bling bling has arrived.



    Tested:



    And now for the installation. I think this may be a little tricky in the Tig as there are no door lights to tap into. I may have to run some longer wires around/through to the footwell lights instead.... unless anyone has a better idea???
