I strongly believe it to the latter. I don't regret changing the interior lights on the Audi. The nasty yellow festoon lights were horrible and provided no illumination at all. The white ones I installed really suit it and are very useful.

I do enjoy these Nathanisms though, to be honest. It never even occurs to me that the type of interior bulbs other people install - people I don't know - is something that could even cross my mind, let alone be irritated or upset by.

I just remembered that I changed the ones in my Mito in 2009. Almost a decade ahead of the trend 8-)

I have a confession - the Lotus came with those LED's fitted. It wasnt me. I did however fit some in the golf myself. The DRL's on the BMW are currently broken and im awaiting replacements from the bay so the standard bulbs are back in for the moment.

It was more an acknowledgement of tasteless upgrades being popular, like Lexus lights and powered by fairy dust stickers.

No ruminating necessary.

I'm not sure why such an innocuous post would get such a reaction, but here we go.

Toss like this. When you go to take it apart you find the housings are cracked and tabs broken. Call me a twat.

I'm going to call you a twat because you don't need to take any interior trim apart to change the colour of the interior lights on the car in the picture :lol: So what's your point again?

That the tabs are broken on the interior light fittings. That was clear enough, wasn't it?

Do you hear that? That’s the sound of my broken nights sleep because I know that somewhere out there a Ford has a broken interior light tab because it’s cunt of an owner decided to fit a led light. The insomnia is unbearable.

Nathan, for your own sake you should learn to tolerate and accept our western customs. You're not in Afghanistan anymore.

In this country, if a man wants to change his lightbulbs for LEDs he can do just that.

You might want to be the Sharia police mate but that doesn't mean you fucking are does it.

The TT had LED number plate lights which did a terrible job of lighting up the number plate. Put normal bulbs in and is much better.

I’ve yet to see them on a car where they light up the plate properly or don’t have loads of light scatter in the rain.

You can have pink disco LEDs in your interior for all I care though, I’m not sat in there.

I still don't know what you do. Do you buy cars at auctions and flip them, or is that something your mates or relatives do?
