Footwell and map lights

Featured Replies

Hi everyone,

Ive fitted some led interior bulbs to my van today, I only found out there was holders in all fiesta footwells today so I popped some white led 501's in to brighten it up abit.... I also did my map light the other day.

I might change my footwell bulbs to red though, But not sure yet.

That  steering wheel is on the wrong side! :wink: :tongue: :wacko: :smile: Lights really brighten the inside up.

They really do make a difference. 

I've done both reading lights, footwell, boot and number plates. 

Inside is blue to match the car but it's so much better now

Cheers fella's, Yes I love the look of them at night when unlocking the car.

Mine is actually a van so it only has one bulb (501) above. Im assuming on the cars its 2 bulbs then Luke ?

Ive also done my rear reg plate bulbs and what would be the boot light bulb.... Although the I dont know what ford were thinking with that boot light, Its useless.

Im going to buy a light bar for mine, With it being a van and wire it to the boot light.

Yeah the Fiesta cars have the usual front one and one in the middle for the rear of the car. 

Agreed the boot one is fairly useless too

I have put blue in mine and blue to interior lights

I used a cheap stick-on LED strip from eBay and positioned it under the hatch lock facing into the boot and wired into the exisiting light (which I also replaced with a LED globe). Works a treat with all the wires easily hidden under the plastic trim.

Sorry, only this dodgy shot. I need to remember to take installation type photos.

Thankyou, That looks really good and looks as though it gives some good light.

Yes it's exceptionally bright. I have to remember not to lean in too far or it dazzles the eyes. It was a DRL LED strip that I bought to fit but didn't like the look of on the car when it was turned off (too yellow).
