Tombie highly Appreciated, thank you.

D4 should be here in a week, I was told end of this month.
The last time I check it was on the Faust (hope I got the boats name right) I'll ring the dealer today to see if we are still on schedule

Thanks Everyone... again for the newbies... is this a full list of the interior??

something like the 5630s or these that Scott recommended

501 Can-bus Super Bright 180 Degree 6 LED bulbs

for

• front central light x 1
• middle row central light x 1
• rear cargo light x 1
• front footwell lights x 2

then for the reading lights people recommend the red ones x 4

like these

T10 W5W 5050 SMD 8 LED RED 1 5W Cree Canbus Xenon Wedge Light Lamp Bulb DC 12V | eBay

then for the puddle lights you can use the same ones as the interior or the LandRover logo ones (I already have 2) x 4

like these (or the 5630s like above or a combination thereof)
2X LED Door Courtesy Light Lamp FOR Land Rover Range Discovery Evoque Freelander | eBay

So a total LED interior replacement is 13... have i missed any inside?

thanks
Andrew

There are two lights above the third row of seats as well (above the side windows). I also changed these to LED, though have never used them. I haven't got around to doing the footwell lights yet. I've still got some LED's in the box, so will probably get to it some time.

And there's another light inside your bottom glove compartment.

Front Central and Middle Row Central
Mine have the mounting slot vertical and the housing includes a reflector.
Therefore best to get a bulb with 360 degree LEDs or double-sided.

The 180 degree units are excellent for rear cargo, rear sides (as mentioned by Brian), doors and footwells and also number plate (which I haven't done yet).

Middle Row Map Lights
I used white rather than red to be more useful when camping for extra light in the rear.
However, I agree with red being a good idea if mostly travelling with second row passengers.

Glove Box
I've read that this one is quite difficult so didn't bother but admittedly haven't tried either.

Cheers,
Scott

Awesome thanks everyone! Will order these today!

Think i wont bother with the glovebox also

Can anyone suggest an easy way of getting the glove box light out. Tried with a flat head screwdriver but for fear of breaking the globe stopped after a couple of minutes.

Has anyone had occurrences of these globes flashing. I have sourced globes from the same web sites discussed in this thread and mine flash on occasion, no error codes or anything just flashing.

Yes but only a couple of the cheap eBay ones.
They are a bit hit & miss. Swapped out and all good.
