Rear load area light bulbs!

[JammyD]

I have just bought a 2015 transit custom limited and want to change the bulbs in the load area.
Can I just replace the bulbs for led bulbs with no hassles or falts.
Don’t want to add or replace anything just bulbs if possible.
Any help with type of bulb I need would be great.
Many thanks

LED bulbs are polarity conscious, so if these don't work first time, turn them end for end in the holder

yes this caught me out thought i had 1 duff bulb

I did the same when I first used them a few years back, I chucked away 2 of the 4 that I bought before I worked it out

It's the reason why you cant use LED bulbs in the front cab lights, because the holders are wired round the opposite way (that one fooled me for a while as well )

come on ladies the d is for diode
A one way valvei thing, a broken teapot
When i was a kid they just packed up working if you wired em the wrong way round

Thanks for all the help people. I take it it really don’t matter weather it’s 41mm or 42mm does it ?
