As promised, here is a guide for fitting the submarine, ST style lights to the interior map light unit.



Please note, I will not be held responsible to any damage you may make to your car when following this guide.



I managed to complete this without breaking or scratching any parts of my car, so remember to take your time and if you need any advice please PM me

Great guide Haz . Really nicely layed out and clear to follow.

Great guide, a bit intense for me atm but I will certainly be looking into this later on.

It's a Doddle.
Buy the light with the led's already fitted.
Swap lights and run one wire to connection 16 on the headlight switch.
If a thicko like me can do it then anyone can.

Excellent guide.

Thanks guys, took me a while to put it all together

As the total cost of this for me was £3 at the time it is defo worth it, or as Stoney said, if your not up for too much of a challenge just get a unit already set up and just run the wire

The ready to go units aren't cheap but are so much easier especially if you're a ham fist like me.

Great guide Haz, I've always been a big fan of submarine lights from the time of my BMW E39, it had them as standard. Right done this mod about a week ago. Easy enough if u follow Haz's guide. Can't wait to take the car on a drive at night with them on, car is currently off road, hopefully should be back on road by late next week at the latest. Will try and put a picture or two up.

Thanks, glad you found the guide useful

Got to say the 12v 3mm super bright LEDs I have aren't that bright, not sure how yours are or which LEDs you chose. I may swap mine for 5mm superbrights as they supposedly have 2X the brightness

Definately found it useful , yea I got the same 3mm super bright (the guy from maplins told me) as you and I have same problem. I just don't think they are bright enough, I don't want them too bright illuminating everything but these ones I have just ain't doing it for me. They look amazing though I have to admit.
Haz u got me thinking about these 5mm now , do you recon you will be swapping the 3mm for the 5mm?
