Interior light upgrade
« on: October 18, 2015, 20:56:20 »
Following on from the successful upgrade of the rear tail lights, I thought I would look into improving the interior light.
The results can be seen here:-

I know a picture replaces a 1000 words but care to share a few words of how what and why? ;)

George, too answer your questions. I always felt the interior light was not that great, it did not
Provide much light. To improve matters I used LED tape hidden under the dash. This is totally invisible,
Hidden out of sight.  Wires soldered to the end of the tape were then attached to either end of the
Original interior light bulb with the use of wire eyelet connectors. The shape of the bulb allows a simple
Push fit. Everything is easily removed if needed.
