I've done my reverse lights.

Main problem with these cheap LEDs (or not so cheap, the reverse light kit was about £20) is that they don't meet electrical interference requirements. Since I installed these, I lose FM radio reception when I select reverse; the radio just picks up interference noise.

You used SMD type LED's ?, got them in my door courtesy lights without problems

That's interesting...must check mine out. I would not have noticed as I hardly ever use FM radio. Hardly ever use radio in fact.

Quite so but I believe the aerial is wired into the rear window.

Contact Normski, he has just done all of his lights including the interior. I have done mine too and now just have the puddle and reversing lights to do.
