Which kit fits your Volkswagen Transporter

Factory interior bulbs in a Transporter are dim and yellow, which makes the cabin feel dated and makes it harder to find things at night. Swapping to LEDs gives you brighter, cleaner light and a color choice that matches your van's interior. These kits are CANbus error free, so you will not get bulb-out warnings on compatible models. The 4014SMD LEDs are automotive grade and built to last longer than the original bulbs.

Installing it

A plastic trim tool is included, and you should use it instead of a screwdriver to avoid scratching or cracking plastic lenses and housings. Work with the interior lights switched off, and let bulbs cool if they were recently on. Pop the lens or housing gently, swap the bulb, and test before you press everything back into place.

1. Pop the lens covers off. They clip in, and they come off with a firm pull. Start at one corner.
2. Pull the old bulb out. Push the new LED in.
3. Turn the light on. If it does not light up, pull it out and flip it 180 degrees. LEDs are polarity sensitive.
4. Work through the remaining locations the same way, then re-seat any loose lens.

Common questions

Will this LED kit fit my 2015 Volkswagen Transporter? Yes, AutoGlowLED kits cover VW T4, T5, and T6 Caravelle, Multivan, and Transporter models from 1990 to 2018.
