Michael, thank you once again for yours video guides. Once i need to change something in my Seat Altea, i meet yours videos=) Geat job!

[@jamieneil8223]

Great video - clear explanation at a pace easy to follow. Many thanks!

[@MichaelKroese]

You are welcome and thank you for your response

[@banderasz20]

I really like your videos about your seat altea! Thank you for them! It would be great if you could create a video about how to install the internal rear view mirror. The one in my car fell off and I'm having a hard time putting it back on 😅

[@MichaelKroese]

If so you must be the best to make such a video because I don't know how. Starting to take apart my car when I have no problem will be risky. Maybe you can tell me how, then maybe I can make one :-)

[@ciganito111]

For the w5w lamps you must remove the whole unit and remove the bulbs from the back there's a small socket you must twist turn and pull the bulb out, as you mention some led lights the socket can be a bit thicker, and if you try to fit the Bulb from the position you could potentially damage the socket holder part.

[@MichaelKroese]

As you can see in the video, you do not have to demote the entire lamp to change the W5W bulbs and you do not have to turn the bulb to mount but just stick the bulb up in the socket. Have never had problems with the LED bulb during installation. It is the BA9s bulb you have to twist turn.

Thank you very much! I have to do the same on my Leon 1P

[@davidperez7077]

Hello. I want to change the lights like you, but I dont know which are the references of the lights. Can you tell me the specifications or characteristics of these? Thank your very much and congratulaction for the video.

What size of bulbs are you using ?

[@prozedur]

Thanks for this video!

[@mrcommentator3640]

Thank you sir

[@tijnkemps]

Thank you for making this video. Personally I like the old bulbs more. I hate the cold light that the led gives, but maybe these are also available in colored leds (yellow).

[@elxelx441]

Couldn't you just do that with whole plastic unit, stick the screwdriver and remove it?

[@MichaelKroese]

Yes i think you can. But why?

[@knigthdevil]

Wich size leds I should buy for a Seat Altea?

[@MichaelKroese]

T10 W5W for canbus

[@Nerven86]

They need to be canbus compatible or doesn't matter for inside lightning?

[@MichaelKroese]

+Nerven1986 I do not know, I've only used canbus bulb

[@at0ny]

Yes you need canbus, If you dont use canbus the leds will light up weakly( can see this at night)and can drain your battery. over the night. If the car dont drive for longer then 2/3 days..

[@canary444]

I've got a sticky map light switch, any videos please,

[@MichaelKroese]

You must disassemble it and clean them with benzine
