I can also recommend joe from Sopers of Lincoln (great service)
If you install this can I have a picture of before and after as I am also thinking of fitting

If you get the ones on the left, the 8 SMD ones you just use the existing bulb holder, no special holder required.Daaaavvveee wrote:Just ordered them, the license plate LED ones, you say a special holder is needed?

Just pull out the old halogen bulbs and replace with LED. The centre lights are tricky to get out.

I put the ceiling of 3.0. It is the same as yours and I put the LEDs. Only problem is that the fading has been lost a bit. So I put the old bulb.

How To: Interior and Rear License Plate LEDs
Changed all my bulbs now apart from the dome above the gear knob
I had it off but the leds are too big to fit in the hole (ooo arrr!) so was wondering if anyone had any techniques or tips? Or is it simply a case of ordering different leds lol
