A before and after shot chaning my interior light to an LED. Massive difference, well worth the few quid for the LED.

Before

After

Thoughts??

Looks good mate i like all the diffrent colours you can get does look alot brighter.

It might of made sense if i took both pics at night

I tried using an LED bulb in my theatre-dimming type of interior light in my Mk 6.5 1.25 Zetec Climate 5 dr, but it refused to fully extinguish, and I was told by a fully experienced mechanic (ex-foreman), that the bulb is incompatible with the Theatre-Dimming electronics. It is now in the boot location.

This happens yes, but after some research it happens on all and will do no harm to the battery or car due to the little current it uses. Its so dim that's its not very noticeable.

the led will stay on at a dimmer light due to residual currant left in the circut, but most fords have a battery saver that cuts in after 20 mins so should then go out.

I waited until the battery saver cut-in and shut off the centre panel between the instruments, but the glimmer persisted.

I am much more prepared to tolerate the brief buzzing noise when my newly-fitted H.I.D. HI/LO headlamps are ramping up to full brightness. At least the noise stops when full brightness is reached.
