Styling Interior light removal?

[DueUno]

I have also got a popped fuse for my interior light i think, does anyone know which fuse it is as i dont have a handbook for my GP ?

Think it's top middle. It's a 5 amp one, so check all of those - you may even be able to tell which is blown by looking with a torch.

Are they just a standard 5amp fuse ? or are they a particular size ?

Dont suppose you have a picture highlighting which one it is do you? , pretty noobish when it comes to this and because i dont have the handbook a picture would be really useful.

It's a mini blade fuse - I had to buy some as they were the ones I didn't have.

I'll try and remember to take a picture of the handbook page later.

Worst bit is getting the fuse out and back in again, as the gap's too small for your hand. I used long nosed pliers, but it was a bit fiddly getting the fuse back in again, although probably a 2 minute job from start to finish

Jealous of that! What LEDs are they please?

Edit - I've found them, I'm going to order some SMD ones as they seem to distribute the light a lot better

Thats ace man! White is always going to emit better light coverage than red or other colours. Its certainly far brighter than my red one, but mines more sultry/moody which i like. And yes, mine comes on when i open the door like normal.

Mine is annoying me because when i open the door i dont get the light coming on ?

Any ideas ?

I assume your light used to turn on when the door opened before? If so, i haven't a clue why it wouldn't now, or how to get it to do so again. Sorry

Have you tried putting the old bulb back in for 2 minutes to test if it works again, it could just be the bulb doesn't function in the way the old ones does. Not sure if thats how bulbs can react, but worth finding out, atleast you'll know if you broke something or not...
