Interior light LED replacement MG4 - LATAM

[JanS]

Hello everyone,

I'm about to get my MG4 down here in Chile. I've seen a couple of threads related to replacing the interior halogen bulbs with LED ones. Most of the product links posted are UK related though and don't ship here. I found these on amazon US which do ship here:

Anybody know if these would do the job? Any recommended tools for removing the panels?

Thanks!

They're ok. The upgraded model will be brighter. I'd get them instead.

The upgraded model will be brighter.

Or even the type that have all the LEDs (e.g. 8 small ones) facing forwards. The ones with 4/5 LEDs facing sideways are actually typically less bright for interior lamps, as they usually have no or little reflector to angle the sideways light forwards.

These are the ones I got: -

They're really bright and came in a box of 4, which suited our two MG4s just fine
10 does seem a little excessive!

@JanS I used a small screwdriver to pop open the interior lamp cover, but a hard plastic tool is "preferred" in case you manage to break the plastic cover with the metal screwdriver. I didn't!

There's a youtube video showing how it's done: -
