LR3 Sun Visor / Vanity mirrors
I can see there’s been discussions on this several years ago BUT, has anyone come across suitable LED replacement bulbs for the sun visor / vanity mirrors.
My Disco 3 SE 2007 model has these fitted currently so would assume these are standard fit
PS - before you wonder, the missus is the one asking the question....Mick

Thanks for that,
Have you used these or certain they will be correct replacements?
Not doubting you of course as it’s a nailed on certainty that you will have better auto-electrics knowledge than me!Mick

Brilliant, thank you again.
It sounds daft but I take it when you say you used these, I guess you mean for the same purpose - in the sun visor / vanity light?
Does it matter that they don’t state they’re CANBUS ready and error free?Mick

Ur so welcome
Haven’t used them in vanity blinds because I’ve not got them in mine but seen others use them, I used them in all my interior lights and to be honest I haven’t had issues with non canbus error free , but did get canbus error free bulbs for the front sidelights
Hopefully someone else will be able to come along and offer there experience of what bulbs they got so at least then ur know 100% there work fine

They are tiny little things but it makes a big difference using LEDs in there... just don't drop them down the side of the seat....I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

OK, understand
Motolab has suggested these won’t fit in the sun visor vanity lights but happy to wait and see if there’s any more responsesMick

And this is the exact type you need..
Regarding color in case of LED... 2700k is the color
Colder....(3000k and up) will look unnatural on a face... believe me.... if the misses is not looking ok in that mirror..... i am not sure you want to sit in the chair next to her... Best regards

If you put red in the left sun visor and green in the right sun visor you will at least be compliant with maritime regulations I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

@ Nigethecat
Thanks for the photo mate
So if I understand you correctly, the white light on the right is LED and we’re obtained through the link you posted earlier - ie this one
