you should have a word with taliban about festoons, he has vast experience in this department. but please dont mention this subject to the great oracle that is simmo, he may have a stroke. this subject was what eventually led to the forming of the cb club.

hi gents , I am changing my three interior light bulbs for LED's. Does anyone know if I am better off going for 10,18 or 24 led's ? I am unsure if having more will give more light, or light up more of them but not as brightly . please see ebay item no 180135516341 , 180137712154 and 180137716576 Many thanks guys.

More LEDs should equal more light output, however LED light is much more directional than that of a filament lamp so you may find it doesn't illuminate as much of the interior as the originals did.
