Default New member question - Interior light bulbs
Hey guys, I introduced myself in the 'Service Manual' thread but will do so again as I have another question Names Chris and I just bought my first Jeep (2007 GC WH CRD) from a fellow member Gary (aka Whitecloud) which i'm really happy with. Just looking to change the interior light bulbs with LED's and wondering if anyone knows the sizes? Currently at work and cant check them for myself.

Also after a CRD service manual if anyone has a link or could email me a copy it'd be really appreciated.

Cheers guys n gals,

Chris.

I followed the sizes listed here;
http://www.wkjeeps.com/lamps/wk_lamps.htm
And worked out good.

You can get away with larger PCBs with more LED chips on the festoon type globes. Depending how you want them to sit with the reflector.

I got a bunch of ridiculously cheap LEDs in various shapes with the right size sockets and experimented until I was happy. Hit-and-miss with the colours and brightness, so it's good to have a selection.
