Swap Brumby Interior Light - If haven't already - do it!

Post by Reg Brumbys » Fri Nov 02, 2007 10:31 pm

Green Horn Mod - The standard interior light in the brumby is terrible, lots of solid plastic - very little room for the light to get out - I was at my favorite store on the weekend - The local Wreckers - and saw that the light in an L series wagon was pretty similar but ALL CLEAR!!! Took it out and swapped it straight over - too easy and its great - nice & bright. Also grabbed a couple of door switches out of a early liberty sedan (after I stuffed 2 trying to work out how to get them out) and put those in - now light goes on & light goes off. :rolleyes:

I just took the whole cover off and left it off. I guess that might be better.

I have done this too, only I installed the LED panel from bunnings inside the fitting as shown in a previous post of mine. Absolutely brilliant (Thanks again Wil for the L room light!!!)
