or length of festoon bulb fitted in the back of the miggy mv6 estate above the rear doors, i would look myself but there are no bulbs and the bits of metal they sit in are bent to hell and back so aint gotta clue, only just noticed they were not working thought the kids had switched them off lol
-
IIRC 5W 35mm festoon
-
Are they the ones in the roof handles?
-
Yep
-
I've got a couple here with straight fitments and bulbs in them you can have for a couple of quid ;)

thanks wel but i am thinking of upgrading all the interior bulbs to led ( fronts, sides and boot light) plus i am thinking of converting all my dash lights, switches and so on to blue led`s at some point, also seen mid`s with blue displays

'gay' led's don't work properly and and the cars are best left with ordinary lamps fitted! :y :y :y :y

White LEDs look good as a swap for front sidelight bulbs, but they do have a habit of failing swiftly. Couldn't be doing with the faff of constantly changing them in the interior, however good or otherwise it looked...
-
was thinking of doing the front side light bulbs with proper LED replacements, also seen ones for the indicators and all the rear light bulbs. Not everybody likes them guess its a marmite thing but everybody is different and i do like to make my car unique to me, one other job to do is tints all round light smoke on the front doors and limo black reflective for all the others :y :y :y ;D

I think you'll find the glass is already not far off the min light thingy before you start with tints

Even if technically within the law, the police may wonder what you want to hide!!!

true mate true but the amount of motors round here with tints is unreal, about every 3rd car you see has got tints allround and some of the ones i have seen you cant see diddly in them at all 8-)

Personally, I would universally ban all dark tints as you lose visibility and so do the following vehicles trying to see brake lights through the car, for example. Bikes, motorbikes etc become invisible where you could look THROUGH a clear glazed car etc etc
Makes the car dingy inside too. Horrid, horrid, HORRID ;D

Rear side windows and rear windscreen can be limo black. Only front windscreen and front sides fall within the legal requirements.
The UK Road Vehicles (Construction & Use) Regulations 1986 Act details the legality of window tinting in the UK - and as amended specifies the minimum levels of light that must pass through the windscreen and front side windows.
For a legal window tint in the UK the specifications are:
a) Motor Vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1985
b) The light transmitted through the windscreen must be at least 75%.
c) The front side windows (to either side of the drivers’ head) must allow at least 70% of light to be transmitted through them.
