I should have mentioned that Tilley is a 2002 model.

My passenger door mirror has bitten the dust and now just flaps around in the wind. :cry:

I have tried all the suggested mirror manipulations to try and get it back into a working condition, but with no luck, so I need to replace it.

My problem is that I have painted mirror housings that match ...

I have a 2002 Bongo and have replaced all my exterior bulbs (except front fog lights & factory fitted HIDs) without any problems. It is just a simple matter of taking the old incandescant bulb and replacing it with the LED bulb. However, if you change out the indicators you will have to add a ...

I have an unsued skinny spare wheel, that has come off my Bongo, for anyone who wants it.

Pick up from Worthing or Burgess Hill (West Sussex).

I am aware of the grey area of using LED bulbs to replace incandescent bulbs, but I think the brighter light and instantaneous on/off of brake lights and indicators is an improvement that can’t be overlooked.

When I first fitted the LED bulbs I was worried that they may have been too bright, but I ...

I think the the whole thing revolves about whether or not the suspension/cleaning devices are fitted.

In other words if they are fitted, they must work. If they are not fitted it doesn't matter.

There doesn't seem to be a statement that these items must be fitted, just that they may be fitted.

As ...

I haven't tried to do the dashboard lights yet, but based on what you have found I don't think I'll bother now.

I thought the MOT must have exceptions for the factory fitted HID lights on imports as Tili (our Bongo) passed the MOT without any light issues. Tili only has manual levelling, and doesn ...

I have always updated the lights on my cars to LED, but the number plate light conversion just became an obsession to resolve why LED bulbs didn't work properly when incandescent bulbs, or the replacement units, do work. I'm really still none the wiser, but I have LED all round now.

I also used ...

Number plate LED update.

After trying various makes and types of LED bulbs, I gave up trying to get an LED bulb to work for the number plate lights and went for a complete replacement unit instead. I used these ones from ebay as they are a like for like replacement.

I have 2002 2ltr Bongo and I have been trying to install a magic black box (from ebay) to enable the Auto Closing Mirrors, but I have hit a problem trying to find the wires used for central locking.

I have looked at the the previous comments of this installation but when it comes to this bit ...

I went to get something out of the glovebox last night and was suprised to find a black void I expected the glovebox to have some kind of illumination, maybe a bit naive on my part.

Has anyone fitted a light to the glovebox?

I thought I would update the status of my progress with the LED bulb replacements.

I have now replaced the front interior cabin lights, front side lights, tail lights (in the tailgate), tail/brake lights, reversing lights and front/rear indicator lights, all with no issues. The dip beam headlights ...

I haven't look at the brake lights yet, but I suspect the ABS problem could be overcome by adding a resistor to the circuit.

Kind of defeats the object of having LED bulbs to reduce power consuption, but should give a brighter, instantaneous light.

The strange thing is that I checked the LED bulbs I'm using by putting them in the interior light and front sidelights, where they worked without any problems.

Maybe the number plate light holders are a bit sensitive.

We have just become Bongo owners, picked up Tili on Thursday.

The forum has been an excellent source of information, with several of the common updates bookmarked and in the pipeline, but the problem I have at the moment is in trying to replace the number plate lights with LEDs. When I insert the ...
