Sorry if this has been asked before (I'm sure it has) I just couldn't find anything when searching.

I want to replace the interior bulbs in my 5th as they are total crap haha.

On the replace lists are the roof light, reading lights, the door lights and the boot light.

What bulbs do I need or are they all the same?

Pretty sure they are all T10's

Are you going white? Think I may have a few spare ones I got for nothing when I ordered something else. Will check tomorrow

Okay the interior roof/reading light is a 269 30mm festoon bulb. The boot light is a T10 and I think the door lights were the same when I popped off the covers, although I've not replaced them.

I bought the "269 LED SMD Mega Bright Festoon Bulb 30mm - White" from AutoBulbsDirect recently and it looks fantastic inside the car, really bright and crisp.

I also put a 5-LED 360 degree T10 Xenon white bulb in the boot and that looks brilliant as well. The plastic cage/cover sits on the top LED when you close it but I've left it on for more than half-a-day several times recently and it doesn't get hot enough to melt, let alone burn the plastic.

Cheers guys. I want to put white bulbs everywhere except the doors which I'd like to put red ones. No real need to have super bright ones there.

Going to look at adding red footwell lights in the future to tie in with the door lights.

Yep. T10's in the Type-S, and presumeably the other JDM 5ths Can't remember what the puddle lights were. I think I just bought the standard UK bulbs and replaced the clear lenses with UK-spec red ones.
