Norris_Cole92 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Just ordered a set of these off ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111375631829 Has anyone bought these and installed them? If so how easy were they to install, do the old units need to be cut at the wire and connected to these? They claim to be plug and play but I know that's not always the case!

Paramanic Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 ma mate had verion of these for his mk7 Zs on his it was a little plug all he did was disconnect the plug to the original lights and pluged them in hey presto im sure these will be similar no cutting required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris_Cole92 Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 That's good to hear, I would think they would be the same type of thing. Hopefully should get them by the end of the week so can get them in on saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenP Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 A cheaper option is to buy a pack of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00N8K5UV8?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00 They're really bright and good value, you can replace the interior bulbs and the number plate bulbs as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramanic Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 His don't use them in number plate think his are the one that look like a tiny fluresant light with a wire through the middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris_Cole92 Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Yeah that's right they are festoon bulbs in the number plate, though mine has a 501 bulb in the interior. I've got festoon LEDs in there at the moment but one of the clear plastic covers is really black hence why I was searching for a replacement and found these. Looks pants with one really bright and one barely visible! Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramanic Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 One u said at start are really bright mate and last! And the 501 was the same as Mines when I had it too mate a guess it's a 2008? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris_Cole92 Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Nice one looking forward to getting them in! It is mate aye I've had it about 6 months or so Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramanic Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 yeah ma sure only the 2008 model had the 501 bulb on the interior light a wee mod a think ye should do is get the reading lights from another ford (find them on eBay or breakers mate ) for interior its just simply plug n play mate and then you have 3lights for the interior at the front but if you want a bright light for the interior i suggest this 194 501 T10 Wide Angle 12 LED Wedge bulbs http://www.wardenjp.com/stores/194.html check out my thread and you will see how bright the blue ones are (thread is highlighted blue underneath this post ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris_Cole92 Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 That sounds like a good idea like do you know which model would be able to get one off? Do the pre facelift mk6's have them? Them blue LED's look sweet in your car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the wedge shape with 5 SMD's and they are ok, but not as bright as I had hoped for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris_Cole92 Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 They've got 18 SMD's in each unit I believe. They aren't actually replacement bulbs they replace the full unit with casing etc. The old one unscrews and it's very simply to disconnect the wires (only held by clips) and these new units slot in. You can find them here for the MK6, not sure where you'd get them for the MK 7 but I'm sure you can get them on eBay, might even be the same fit. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111375631829 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
