Title: Luggage Box Light
Post by: RubenC on October 31, 2014, 08:07:06 PM
Hi,

My luggage box LED light is out.  Does anyone know what type of replacement LED bulb to replace it with? 


I know. I know. One that works.

Thank you for your help

Just had it open a few days ago but didn't look.

One thing I found out, if you turn/install the bulb 180 degree turned around in the socket (then "wrong"), it will not work.  Not like the old bulbs where it did not matter.

according to this:-

I have just had a look, it pulls out from the clear glass tube and its a small wedge LED, the only thing it says on the bulb is 12v DC!

found these very similar on ebay:-

You should check out superbrightleds.com and look at their glove box lights. Wayyyyy brighter than the stock met in light and you can wire it to the original switch.

In my opinion ,the luggage box light has no utility at all ,it is too low in the box.

  the bulb is burnt or it is not pluged in under the met in box, the light is so low it is always covered with some thing,.  I was thinking to put a strip of led lights around the top at the back, off of the same power supply,.
