Led Interior Bulbs

Hi Guys I want to change out all my dull interior bulbs to bright white LED bulbs, does anyone know if they have to be error free like the exterior ones or can I just get the regular LEDs

You should be able to use the regular led's for the interior. The ones I used in my range rover were the sylvania led's. Advanceautoparts is having a good sale and you can buy them online and pick up in store...look for promo codes online for like 50.00 off of 100.00 or 30 off of 50.00 etc. They are pretty bright and look really good.

Thanks for the info WHPH28, I got a local shop here in Vancouver, BC that's selling the LEDs for $3 each, I got some for my Cadillac Escalade off them a while back and have had no issues.

I replaced all my interior bulbs with leds and did not have an errors. The only thing I did not like was the under dash lights because they stay on all the time and the leds make them stand out more at night.

Are you referring to the ambient lighting when you say "under dash" ?

I believe they are 39mm festoon lights. You will need to have a glove of some sort and just go from right to left to wiggle it free

Got all of the bulbs swapped out, anyone know how to get cover off the rear view mirror to access the bulbs, those are the only ones need to be swapped out.

Wedge style bulbs x 20 for interior, glove box, arm rest and trunk (2 wedge bulbs need to be a little bit shorter in length for rear reading lights, otherwise plastic cover will not fit back properly)
Festoon Bulbs x 4 for rear vanity mirrors and rear door lights

Only issues I am having are bulbs under front seats have started flashing on and off when activated
