Mk7 Transit interior light / number plate sizes ???

Postby Geztransit » Sun Jun 24, 2012 6:42 pm

Hi guys , was going to buy led replacements for all my interior lights , front and rear but can't seem to find the sizes of them? Was hoping someone would know , also rear number plate lights if possible!

Please don't think I'm lazy but my van is stored 15miles away from at the moment!

Many thanks for any info in advance!

Ok they look good, do they come on when doors are opened , or have to be manually switched on?

Also why won't cab lights works ? I was really looking forward to led cab light! (sad I know!)

Also just to confirm number plate lights are 501's - I.e same as sidelights?!

The polarity is wrong for direct replacement cab lights.

Yes number plate and side light are the same but remember that they need to emit the light from the sides to work properly in the number plate position.

Can't I just turn the bulb round if polarity is wrong ?

No, as we said they're the wrong polarity.
