Default Festoon size (EF)
Hey does anyone know for certain the size of the interior festoon light in the EFs?
I think they're 36mm, but want to make sure before I buy a LED one from ebay.

Sorry, but what's a festoon light? I probably have one though, so happy to measure it once I know what it is.

Don't buy an LED unless your going to buy a clear cover for the interior light as the frosted cover blocks most of the light.

The LED Festoon will be much much dimmer than the std light.

I have used the LED and took it back the next day as it was useless.

ESPECIALLY if you are going to fit a coloured one in, Ble, Red etc.............

There was a guy on eBay that was selling them, might of even been FTG Auto Salvage but I have not seen them for sale for a while

I have the Fairmont with the 2 x Courtesy Lights so I couldnt use on as it was custom made for Falcons not Fairmonts :(

Mine has the 2x lights as well, its a Futura. I know the one you're talking about, I've seen em on ebay. I thought they only fit EA? Maybe its the gli's theyre for.

I thought about that, but when I put my broken one in there still sorta fit, so they must be a touch larger. The sizes which it might be are 36 or 39mm, I think theyre 36.
