I was looking on Ebay to replace my back pad interior light. My lens is broken. My original lens is Hella.
Can anyone confirm if this will fit before I purchase. http://www.ebay.com/itm/PORSCHE-VW-INTERIO...=item2c5dd78564 Thank you in advance. |

Come to think of it, this would be a great place to put an LED bulb if one is available that fits. It would provide light without the heat that warps the housing!

The ones out there don't snap in correctly (I have tried a few) and they are a compromise. I simply wish someone made one that actually fit correctly. It wouldn't be difficult to convert to LED, if new housings were available, but I can't see wasting the time on parts that don't fit right to begin with. |
