I'm not sure if/when it changed. Have a look on yours...you should be able to see the bulb from underneath. Taking the light unit out is easy too...just need a flat bladed screwdriver. |

From a VERY quick look this morning, it would appear that the sun visor vanity mirrors are indeed 'festoon' style bulbs. Courtesy lights in the rear are the W5W fitting ![]() MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring GONE: Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE - Stornaway Grey w/Black Interior (wish we'd kept it ![]() GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black GONE:MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ivory/Grand Black Privacy glass |

With the CANBUS LEDs...will I be able to tell if one stops working? Or will the resistors trick the car into thinking they're still ok even if they're not working?

Come to think of it it didn't come up with anything when I was testing the LEDs but thats why I thought the CANBUS was stopping the error from coming up.

You actually need 13 bulbs for the interior if you intend changing them all, and that doesn't include the rear number plate lights so that is another 2 ![]() ![]() Just a quick edit, this quantity doesn't include the vanity mirrors, not sure which bulbs are in them as i havn't looked. i may look tomorrow.
