Works a treat!

Wouldn't have thought of that, only problem is you might attract the wrong attention looking like a mobile brothel .

I swapped out all on the interior lights with these ones from Spares box.

He’s replaced half the vehicle since purchase, perhaps this part he didn’t want to do twice

I can understand red lighting in the map lights but what is the advantage of LEDs in the other internal lights.

My car is now 11 years old and still has all its original incandescent lights and these work great so what is the advantage - to me cool white would just not look right.

You can get different colour globes not just stark white.

Less drain on the battery as they don’t use as much power is the benefit I believe. A much better light to see things with also. Regardless of the type of globe I have found out about the trick to disable internal lights coming on everytime you open a door which is great when camping. You hold in the middle front light button for 5 seconds and a message will appear on the dash display. Do the same thing to have the lights come back on when opening doors.
