Weedy interior lights
I’m finding the interior courtesy lights a little weedy, are there any easy mods one can make to them? I was thinking brighter bulbs or something?

I have older LEDs in mine which are now showing their age - not very bright at all.
Can anyone recommend some bright T10s?

I have had THESE for the past 3 or 4 years. They claim to be canbus compatible, but the ones I received were not - but this is fine for the interior lights.
Xenon white for the overhead, and blue 12" strips wired in series for the floor. The floor lighting has helped me a number of times when I have dropped things, much more beneficial than I was expecting.

just into the interior lights. You can make it as complicated or as easy as you wish (coming on with all the lights - one wire down to the floor, with an earth from the fuse box area, or one corner by using the switched feeds - four wires).
Use T-Cut's brilliant (as always lol) How Tos HERE I fitted them whilst I was 'upgrading' the electric seats, as the wiring was present, hand brake compensator and stereo. With the seats and centre console/lower dash out it was a doddle. One thing to bear in mind, using LEDs will limit the fading effect of the lights. They will fade for approx half the time, before extinguishing. Also wired in a 1m LED strip into the boot too (easy - simply tap into the existing wiring for the boot light)

Brilliant white LEDs look ok in a ZT but they're too harsh for a 75. A 75 needs "mellower" lighting.
