Liam Tony Ridge has just had the complete bling job re interior lighting done........i had a chat with the company that did the job at a show and they really are clued up on the interior bulb situation
Contact Gil Keane of Quicksilver Automotive in Birmingham and im sure they would give you the latest info on interior or exterior lighting....or go to the 2009 October magazine issue..............Joe

Yes the Blue LED's are far better than the little cap less ones. I bought these

They do say to watch for polarity (as these only work one way round (unlike standard bulbs) but I managed to get all but one of them the right way in first time

Be careful with LED bulbs as they burn with less power than normal ones so "bulb fail" will appear.........there is a gismo to buy to install to cope with this however the company who did Tony Ridges Job will tell you what this is if you give them a call.........Joe

I've never had the "bulb fail" appear on my car for some reason even when one of my headlights would go off due to a bad connection - the "gizmo" you refer to is a simple resistor although the ones I have seem to have the resistor already fitted inside - but you can by kits easy enough http://www.phoenixautobulbs.co.uk/led-r ... p-306.html

Having said that, as these are interior lights would they be scanned by the bulb failure unit?

Avoid Scotch Locks like the plage!

Nasty, Nasty. Prone to corrosion and poor reliability in service.

In my opinion they should be banned. I`d shoot anyone using such items on my car.

Best to make a secure, damp proof connection.
