Reversing light

[bluenose1940]

Just wondering if anyone has tried replacing the reversing light bulb with an LED fitting on the NX.

Yes i did it with my previous NX. I also changed the main beam bulbs for LED. Both were very sucessful.

Done it and the 3 interior light in the back end of my RX. There are various bulbs on sale and you just have to watch out for the number of LED’s on them which does alter the length of the bulb. All done and with no problems.

Thank you Colin, good of you to respond.  Is it possible that you could give me details of what you purchased and where from please?

For the reverse light, I used Osram W16W, but check which ones fit your car. For the boot interior lights I used T10 W5W bulbs with 9 LED’s on them. Ones with more than 9 LED’s wont fit into the interior light fittings correctly. 

Driven2automotive for the Osrams and Argocity09 for interior bulbs, both on eBay.
