Hi

All the lights in the wagon are LEDS but the boot one.

Its quite awd and I wonder if theres any compatible LED that suit the car boot?

Thank you

Hi Neal

Did this last week with a festoon LED from Autobarn. It doesn't appear to affect the Canbus so no error.

Simply pry the assembly out and match the festoon size to the LED version

How about the Colour?

Do they match the original?

Yep, exactly the same.

You'll find it here. (https://www.autobarn.com.au/aerpro-6-xsmd-led-41mm-festoon-white-smd94w)

The contact ends need to be very slightly bent inwards since it's out by no more than 2mm. In fact it does fit in, but just not snuggly enough to stop the LED array from spinning around.

I was looking to do this too, will have to make a trip to Autobarn.
Find it very strange that every other light in the car is LED except this one.

I did this today.
The original bulb was an OSRAM 6411 12V 10W SV8,5-8 (41mm)

I purchased an OSRAM C5W LEDriving Cool White 41mm (360 degree) bulb; 264 Osram Long Life LED Retrofit Cool White 12V C5W 42mm Festoon Bulb (http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/264-Osram-Long-Life-LED-Retrofit-Cool-White-12V-C5W-42mm-Festoon-Bulb.html)

No issues with the size, straight swap, no issues with CANBUS either.

Perfect colour match and light intensity for the interior.

Don't waste your money on the cheap LED's out there!
