Thank you for this

I wanted to add my input, A set of these really helps not ruin the plastic. Cheap too. I got mine when I did it and they worked very well and did not leave "bend marks" on the trim.

So is it 42mm or 44mm festoon bulb for the trunk light ?? and Im only finding red LED not just a regular red bulb...Can I use it with stock wiring?

Either 42mm or 44mm should do. 42mm is best fit I guess.

LED is fine with stock setup for interior light.

44 is the size you will need . 42 is slightly too short and you will need to bend the metal ends together . They both work but 44 is the right size :thumbsup:

Hi guys,

This is not a real DIY

I just wanted to link some references for someone who wants to change all interior lights into his MK6. It has been very useful to me ; I didn't break any pieces and did the light change quicker.

Sorry if it has already been done. I did many researches on the subject and just wanted to share the result !

Here's the replacement guide that displays which bulbs to use:
