Hello Chicotrini:

Can you please list what the equals are?

And where you are getting them from?

Better yet take pics to show DIY. Thanks in advance.

@ Chicotrini

Note that for the Dome light at least the 2004 SC, the DB9 socket wiring is opposite what the DB9 bulb expects so you have to reverse the wires or purchase one of those dome light panels with adaptors that can be reversed. I took out the dome light panels and the wires do not plug in - they are soldered to the circiut board.

good luck.

I'm in the process of swapping all mine out too. I ordered a full set back on 3/4th Oct from Hong Kong/China so always knew it would take 2-4 weeks - depending on trade winds ;-)

Just had the vanity mirror festoon ones turn up so far (which were 4 SMD models... in hindsight I would rather have gone for 6's)... so waiting for a small parcel to arrive with the balance.

Including spares, it totalled £14/$20 iirc so it's a cheap upgrade.

If you need guidance on what type of LED to get, feel free to PM me. I know that there are a lot of LED choices out there, but with the right help, you'll be on your way with a bright new look for your car.
