Thanks for the photos, looking good.

no probz. Better place to put them, rather than chop up before after shops in the Garage.

hey just want 2 ask if a 16smd led replacement can fit in the boot light housing or do i have to leave it exposed?

okies, looking at changing all my bulbs to LEDs now. With the map light, is there a certain directional type of LED that I can get as it seems to distract me when I am driving at night and someone switches on the map light to look for something. Basically, if the left hand side map light is switched on, I would like it to light up the left passengers seat and not have too much light come onto the drivers side.

this is a bit noob but how do you take off the map light's covers to change the lights? I can get the cabin one open.. thanks

You can actually pry the whole assembly out. Just stick a thin butter knife between the plastic and your roof liner. The whole map light assembly can be pryed out since it's only held by some stiff metal clips.

or use a flat head screw driver (smallest one you have) and remove the clear cover - I took off the whole assembly out and it was a pain in the neck putting the LEDS in and then I removed the clear cover

I wonder if an SMD light would help the sportback's boot... seeing how the light is not in the centre on one side..

[hansmitchel]

Hans- which direction should pry the clear plastic off from? is it much easier this way?

errrr, look at this picture, should be self explanatory. Do it for each corner where the clear cover is attached but be careful not to break it
It is much easier

Yeah it sure will mate. I put 3 SMD lights in my RA and it lights up like a runway landing light inside. Would def help!

No worries Hoges

I assume a 16 LED SMD for the rear boot will fit? (sportback models)

actually you can get a adaptor which can fix the problem ,for the current which is the rated current ,so if you want to replace it with led lights ,an adaptor would help you a lot ,you can take led SMD 3528 which is 0.08W for each led lights ,means you can take the length as you want and the led stripis also can cuttable .
a site may be much better help you
