    Default internal led lighting

    So i;m trying to install Blue LEDS in my VZ MY06.

    The lights above the rear licence plate work, the lights above the rear door work, but i cannot get the light above my head to work. I have tried two different brands of the 4LED lights to no avail. The LED fits perfectly but does not switch on.

    Anybody else have trouble with this? Should i try a different type of led?

    Go to this thread from StealthCalais. He has just completed the conversion and listed the LED globe types on post #56 of his thread.

    LED's only work when put in one way. have you turned the globe itself around?

    tried 2 different sets of globes now.. no good

    i went down to autobarn and i spotted a Monza LED kit (6 led strip with converters for pretty much any connection)

    so i bought the last blue one they had, installed it in the left map light and hurrah! much brighter than a single led would be!

    unfortunately they only had one so still waiting for it to come in stock =\

    from what i've heard it's only illegal if you cannot read the rear license plate. so leds should be fine.. (just what i've heard and most likely wrong)
