Clio boot light & interior light?

[Ben Earles]

Just bought a Clio MK2 02 plate and i want to put all xenon bulbs all round it, i have all the head lights and fog lights

Was just wondering what size is the; Rear boot light, inside the boot light & interior bulb?

Thanks if anybody gets back to me

Welcome to the forum, Ben Earles!

Can't remember the numberplate light offhand, but the interior boot light is a 38mm festoon.

Interior bulb type is different for different light units IIRC (with/without maplight)

Oh, and you'll either need two bulbs or a bridge rectifier if you want to convert the interior light to LED.

Thanks Boosh!

Yeah i thought it was a 38mm festoon bulb - Just need to find the number plate bulb size.

So is it possible to change the map light to an LED?

I found the number plate bulb off amazon i think it was? Best way is to open it up and inspect it yourself!
Dunno why i'm replying you probably ain't even using this anymore!

I know this is an old post, but to clarify, both interior bulbs are 501's (same as side lights). I brought these for mine and it really lights up the interior. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181076388463?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2648

I can definitely confirm that the interior light is the same as side lights but not sure on boot light

Bootlight is a 38mm festoon.

I just put LEDs in the interior light - the map light works fine but the interior light is on constantly but really dim (when the switch is in the off position) when I switch to map light it goes out. Any ideas why this is? It doesn't do it with normal bulbs.

 

[McGherkin]

It's normal, the LED needs a lot less power to turn on. I'd just leave it, you could wire a resistor in but you'd loose brightness when it's on.

Will it cause the battery to go flat over time or does it not draw enough power with it being LED?

Mines the same mate. Wouldn't worry! Mines not gone flat yet haha

 

[jonesyblue87]

Sounds good to me - job for the morning!

 

[McGherkin]

Nah, it's not a problem. It's power that would be going through there anyway, you'd just never notice it if you had a conventional bulb.
