  • To LED or not to LED. That is the question?

    Opinions please on changing the interior bulbs.

    Done it multiple times to previous cars kinda liked it kinda didn’t

    Thinking because the Car is fairly modern it’ll look ok?

    (I know I could just go and try it and see, but cba [emoji39])

    I replaced all my interior bulbs to leds on my previous Insignia and my current Insignia has them as standard so I'd say yes. I'm not a lover of the blue look. I prefer the bright white look.

      Done my boot and footwell with led, left the rest, it's a nice warm glow and I'm happy with it.

        Might do the puddle lights once I do the headlights and number plate

        Again opinions on number plate. I’d like as close to oem led as possible. I think eBay specials look a bit, erm eBay

                  Number plate lights. Look better in real life, they are bright but camera makes them look worse than are. They match reverse lights well.

                        Those number plate led are bright!

                        They do the interior kits on ebay, is that where you guys got them from?

                          You’re going to cost me a fortune. I bought mine with no intentions of expensive mods. But I see yours and I want!

                          On a serious note..as we know Vauxhall’s aren’t exactly known for holding their price. Dunno why this is the best over 100k mile car I’ve had, and the cheapest!

                          I’m hesitant to spend fortunes pimping it up fear of not getting a return. Must be because I’m Scottish [emoji2528] I’m tighter than Philip Schofields chuff before he came clean

                          I suppose any retrofit I do can be undone and sold separate

                              Anything can be done to them.
                              I've done lots and lots.......and when I bought it 2 years ago, I was doing nothing to it.

                              Exhausts, seats, mudflaps, android, reverse camera, heated seats LEDs, indicator repeaters, changed LEDs in dials, opelised,......the list is endless
