Has anyone change the footwell light that already has a LED bulb thats on a little circuit board inside the bulb holder ?
I have a 2014 with this type of led original bulb/board.
Want to change to red to suit the door card lighting.
Thanks.

Get the whole assembly from China in whatever color you wish, including the LED inside.
I went with red...
Are we talking AliExpress or similar ?

Edit,
Found them on aliexpress about £8 a pair.
I will look around for red led bulbs to solder onto the pcb boards i already have in the car.

Edit 2,
Found these on Ebay for Leon owners who already have the led circuit board in there footwell light.

6 led's instead of only the one already in the car, should be much brighter.

You are making it way too complicated....

I am trying to find where I got mine from (probably AliExpress)
They are brighter than the stock ones and perfectly red.
Pop original out, unplug, plug into new one, pop it in.
For so small money, why would you want to go about soldering LEDs and boards, which will die very easily in the process?

BTW, the ones I have are also similarly a PCB board with LEDS. Only, better than the original one.

I added a link on Ebay above.
6 led ones about £14 delivered.

I coloured mine with a red sharpie and they match a treat and look great as well

How did you get on with these ?

I’m thinking of buying a red pair.

Are they easy to fit ?

Yes i got a blue pair and they are very very easy to fit. You simply pop out the current white LED light. Unplug it, and plug the blue one in. Then push it back into place! Took all of 2 minutes! I found they are very blue! A lot more noticeable at night. But with the door strips they look very cool at night
