L.e.d interior bulbs

I'd like to replace the interior bulbs (map lights and footwell lights) to l.e.d's. I like the look of l.e.d's as well as the brightness of them. I like the idea of all l.e.d illumination inside. Does anyone have a good source that sells them?

Thanks everybody!

Thanks for all of your replies, I'm thinking about which bulbs to get.

To the gentleman with the clubman who purchased the eBay bulbs, what year is your car?

I like the bluish hue of the panel assembly that goes in the dome light area.

The v led's look cool with the aluminum bodies .

Not sure how I'm going to proceed

I have a 2010 clubman. And the eBay lights have all lights except for glove compartment. I mean for $6 with shipping it's a steal. I feel like most of these are made in China anyways.

I tried to attach a picture but the app won't allow me to do so since I put the same pic in the "what did you do to your mini" thread

Here it is... I changed the filename :-). This is only Map lights and dome, but I have door, foot well, and trunk installed too.

Good evening everybody:

I'm having difficulty removing the lenses from the overhead console lights as well as the dome lights in the passenger compartment. I'm afraid I'm going to rip the entire assembly from the headliner/ceiling. Anybody have any ideas? I've scoured the owners manual but any instructions provided are for exterior lighting.

Thank you

The 2013 MINI Cooper Hardtop ( R56 chassis ) is the same as the R56 MINI Cooper Hardtop 8/2010+ .

R56 LED Interior Lighting Kit 8/2010+


http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/SiteSearch/R56LEDKIT2/ES2580513/







Here is the PDF for the install which we also have linked right under documentation. We have them for all our full led kits.

We also have the rear LED kits for R56 Hardtop 2007+ / R57 Convertible 2009+ for Gen 2 MINIs. They will not give you that bulb out warning either.
