LED bulbs for rear reading lights

Post by Norbreck21a »

After going in the wife's car this weekend, I noticed that shockingly, I hadn't replaced the bulbs in the rear seat area roof light :o

I think these are different from the W5W units used at the front, so before I go off searching the web for a pair, has anyone changed these for Can-Bus friendly units and can point me in the right direction of what type etc. ?

i thought the interior lights did not need to be can bus friendly?

if so i wouldn't use can bus ones as non ones will last longer/run cooler
