Think you'll find they are 5w MBC - Minature Beyonet Centre (Same as the rear side marker lights on your caravan - how sad) Laughing

Some of us are not as fortunate as you and do not the the map reading lights... Big Cry must be a MY10 thing! - Still, on the positive it's less LED's to buy.

One of the things thats lacking on the FL2 IMO - decent but subtle dash illumination, as found on beemers and the like.. 2008 SE, HSE wheels, Black Premium Leather, Privacy Glass, Sports Kit, Side Steps, various LED upgrades and Clear side indicators.

My LED centre lights have a glow all the time, as if there is a small current going through them I often wondered if this could be used to create the waterfall lighting,

The RRS has them IIRC Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I had 'curtain lights' on my audi a gimmick really, tractors have had it for years Cool due to the controls not being illuminated and quite impossible to find without At work

Sorry for the delay NP been working away. Yes they are 9mm. As someone said in a previous thread (think it was you) about LED's they tend to be 'directional' and so don't cast much light 'side on' so NFG for the likes of puddle or map lights as most of the beam is being projected forwards and not to the side where needed.
