Number plate bulbs phase I

Postby busternlouie » Mon Jan 19, 2009 9:00 pm

Just a quickie,
does anyone know what size the festoon bulbs on a phase I number light are? Are they 36mm?

Cheers

Yea they are the 36mm ones. but if your in the market for LEDs you can get away with 38mm as in these which i would highly recomend.

No i meant Megane II Phase I, i had heard somewhere that the facelifted Meg II have 501 bulbs rather than festoons. Not sure how true that is though.

Ok some photos of various LEDs...

Image

The rear number plate lights... sorry it’s a bit blurry but you get the idea. Puts a nice light on the ground behind the car.

Image

Main interior lighting... each bulb has 9 LEDs. That’s 54 in total. Photo doesn't to it justice... Its like day light in the car.

Image

Door handle accent lighting.

The light on the ground in the first pic looks smart but would it look the same with hatchback, with them having different shape bumpers?

They must be, my mum has an 8 month old golf and they have them as standard... maybe not quite as bright but still leave a faint mark on the road. I’m going to take another pic I think that one makes them out to be brighter than they are really.

Fitted my number plate bulbs. They look good, although the number plate recess on the hatch is a lot deeper and as a result the grey trim at the top is really lit up.
