    LED Interior bulbs.

    I decided to upgrade my standard imterior bulbs in my V50 for some more modern looking LED ones.
    I think they look much better, what do you think?


    Rear interior lamp.

    Nice looking motor there dude. The interior LED's, do they still gradually dim like the filament bulbs or do they just go on/off?

    I've got some LED's for the front foot wells today. How do you remove the lamp from the under dash trim without removing the whole dash trim. I've got the clear lense off the lamp but near impossible to change the bulb due to space. Any ideas??
