hi mates
i'v decided to change all of the lighting in my 6n, already ordered 8000k xenon, and wanting to perfect it with licence plate leds and parking light leds.
can someone please direct me to the leds that will fit in the licence plate and parking light?
i think i found some that will fit but i need to be 100% sure they will before i order them.
will these fit as front parking lights?
these operate on 12v dc volts
and i can't decide which will fit my licence plate as i'v never replaced it and dont know what type of bulb fits there..
i really want to order them and fit them before fitting the xenon, help will be extremely appreciated!
** also: interior ceiling bulb and air con bulb LEDS needed...
i'v stumbled apon a led which seems to be a perfect replacement for the interior and licence plate bulb, the led's description is:
Festoon 36mm 272 Ultra Bright 4 LED 10x36 SV8,5 C5W car bulbs
its 36mm, will it fit?

Re: new bulbs all around - questions..
You need H4 fitment headlight bulbs, usual 501/W5W sidelight bulbs for both front sidelights and rear number plate bulbs. For your interior light you need a 42mm LED Festoon for that white crisp light, not sure about your aircon bulbs as my car doesn't have this
Re: new bulbs all around - questions..
hey thanks mate!
so for my interior i'll need to buy this one?
its a 42mm one
another question - whats the diefferance between the led above, which is labled "ultra bright" and this one which is labled "high power"??
and for my front parking light AND back number plate lights i'll need the same 501 w5w leds? :

Re: new bulbs all around - questions..
they may be too bright for number plate lights. sidelights would be fine though.
Re: new bulbs all around - questions..
for future modde'rs i'd like to specify the bulb types i replaced with led's on the 6n:
interior ceiling bulb - festoon 36mm
501/W5W t10 sidelight bulbs for front sidelights
more extreme one -
rear number plate bulbs same 501/W5W t10 will fit but much lesser space for the bulb so a smaller one is needed :
or
or the good old led's we all know :
hope this'll help 'cause i had to prance arounf the internet for a day to find out for sure the specific types.. and thanks for the help above too lads

Re: new bulbs all around - questions..
Interior ceiling bulb is 42mm not 36mm as we have said before lol
Re: new bulbs all around - questions..
well.. not on my 6n.. its 36mm, i even mesured it by myself although it says "36mm" on the bulb ..
are you absolutely sure your's is 42mm??
i just noticed you own a 6n2, i believe you were refering to the 42mm in your 6n2, while i was refering to the 36mm in th 6n.

Re: new bulbs all around - questions..
Had a 42mm on my 6n bud, and on my 6n2 interior light I pulled from a GTi
