Does anyone know all the different bulbs I'd need to buy in LED form to replace all my interior lights with some nicer, white LED ones. I want to try and do it relatively cheap rather than spending £5/bulb so if anyone has any good websites to buy from as well that'd be great!
Thanks!

Re: Interior Lights / Bulbs
Just done this on my polo and used the Philips LED bulbs which look great but are quite pricy. The only issue being they have a dim glow when the lights are set to come on when a door opens.
The bulbs are:
Vanity mirror lights: 39mm festoon
Front dome light: 39mm festoon
Front map lights: W5W
Rear dome lights: 39mm festoon
Boot light: W5W
In total, you'll need 5 39mm festoons (I used 38mm festoons as they seem to be a lot more common and still fit) and 3 W5W bulbs. I would also highly recommend a plastic trim tool kit as it made the job much easier and didn't break anything.
