Just got them today and they fit no worries. 9 LED 5630. Almost the same max dimension as the original globes. I will get a photo when i have a chance.

Heres a photo comparing the 6 SMD 5650 LED globes (thats a mouthful) vs the cheap LED globes i bought, which are already brighter than standard.

Ta Dan. Where did you get these, and are they suitable for the front interior or best left for cargo area and puddle lights?

I'd like to upgrade the reverse lights too.

Thanks

they're the ones i linked to to in my previous post. I just thought I'd stick up a comparison photo against my cheaper LED globes, which were about 35c each.

They work in the interior lights (haven't tried the glove box and i can't easily get the covers of the reading lights for 3rd row passengers) though my feeling is they might be too bright for the main interior lights. Perfect in the boot and puddle lights though.

If anyone knows how to get the 3rd row reading lights out (they feel like they'll break) i reckon they'd be great there too for extra light when needed.

Ta. I thought 5630 v 5650 was your comparison.

So how many 5630s should I buy?

Sorry rar110, the bright ones are 5630. The dimmer ones are 5050. My error.

To (hopefully) clarify it all and put it all in one post:

I bought these [url = "http://m.ebay.com.au/itm/251119527166?_mwBanner=1"]5SMD 5050 LED globes[/url] for the interior lights, footwells and puddle lamps. They seem brighter than the standard globes, and are definitely whiter! Being multi-directional they're a good where there is a reflector in the fitting.

I then bought a set of these [url = "http://m.ebay.com.au/itm/301619658975?_mwBanner=1"]9SMD 5630 LED globes[/url] for the boot area. They only have LEDs on one side, and the boot and puddle lamp fittings don't have reflectors. As the pack came with 2 globes i stuck the spare in the drivers door puddle light to compare it's brightness with the 5050's. It's much brighter!

Rar i would grab a pack of 10 5050 globes for the interior - they are good for the reflective fittings, and i feel the 5630s would be too bright. Then grab 5 5630 globes - 1 for the boot and 1 for each puddle lamp.

Hope that clears it up!!

Cheers

Dan
