Griffith Interior light

[lancepar]

I’ve been messing with my interior light again. Previously I got it to manually switch on at the lamp by replacing the missing yellow relay. That was good enough but really dim.



Then I bought a LED bulb but I didn’t know at the time that the centre of the bulb is connected negative so it wouldn’t work and I know this type of LED is available now or I could have modified it myself. Anyway amongst my bits I found a similar lamp holder but for use with a festoon bulb. Now with a LED festoon bulb which can be swapped ends so it’s polarity is correct in the replacement fitting I now have a nice bright interior lamp. It still only works when manually switched but I can live with that.

The unit I used was a HELLA Interior Light 2JA 002 931-031 which originally used a Festoon Bulb K 12V 10W and I fitted a 39mm Festoon LED Interior Number Plate Light White.





New units available cheap as chips, if you know where to look.
