Subject:Q: Interior light bulb sizes
From:Michael Hart
Date:Tue, 24 Jul 2007 17:10:59 -0700

In my quest to improve interior lighting in my Westy, I have been looking
at the LED 'festoon' bulb replacements recently arriving on eBay etc.
One example case:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-Bulb-Festoon-WHITE-LED-39mm-License-Trunk-LIGHT-6411_W0QQitemZ190133009655QQihZ009QQcategoryZ33713QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

As I am hcurrently heading for Seoul, I'm going to see if I can find a lower cost source
(at the flea markets - a great place to sightsee btw), as I have for other
LED lamps on previous trips (e.g. super bright 'miner' headlamps and bike lights for < $5)

So, to my Question - can anyone tell me the lengths of the various 'festoon'
bulbs in the Westy;
- Above stove triple bulb lamp
- interior light (driver's side headliner)
- map light
(I recall they are all different, but since my Westy in in CA and I'm currently in Taiwan,
I can't get to them to measure them)

I'll report back if I can find any and once I've tried them out (to see if they are any brighter
than the filament bulbs; they certainly will use less power).

Thanks,
Mike
'87 Westy
