R52 Interior Lightbulb Changes
Interior Lightbulb Changes
This may be a dumb question, and I just can't find the answer to it, and someone may be able to direct me correctly, but I want to change the interior lights in Cecilia like I did with Soulfire (they are all blue) but I can't seem to find what kind of bulbs they are!
I want to stick with just changing bulbs, not adding anything else like ImagoX did with his baby, even though that was WAY COOL!
But here is what I need to know, how many bulbs there are, and what are they! I can't seem to find anywhere all the stuff I had written down for SF!
Help please!

OK - let's see if I can piece it together...
The dome light in the cabrio is different than the one in the coupe - the cabrio uses 194 wedge-type bulbs for everything (the dome, map lights, footwell lights and door puddle lights.)
Most are available here:

For the dome, the best thing I've used is this:

"SMT Tower"
For the map lights, I use ones kinda like these:

"Focused Lenses"
For the footwells and puddle lights you need "flank" LEDs:

Autolumination also sells colored incandescent 194 bulbs - you could give those a try also.
Mine is all done in white and I love it - very bright and clear. But colors are cool too if that's the look you're going for.

I use the same and it's great. In the cabrio dome light, the hole needs to be enlarged slightly for the bulb to fit through. v-leds now carries the same design, at lower price ($10 for 2): http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...d/0/SFV/32481#
Soulfire is all blue inside and we love it!
For those who have changed lights, the ones that stay lit (under the RVM and in the door handles) did you change those as well? I just realized that there are WAY to many lights I didn't think about!

Nah, I left the "waterfall" lights (the shine down from the rearview) and the door cups orange, to match the instrument lighting. So when the lights are "out" - it's all orange. When the lights come "on", all that new stuff is white (or whatever you like)
I think the door cup and waterfall LEDs are soldered? So more involved to switch them out IIRC.
