If you do go for the front fog lights take the unit out & check you can take the bulb out before you order. My fog bulbs are rust welded in there and no way I can get them out. If a bulb blows I'll prob just leave it as it's not an MOT item and I think I can count on one hand the number of times I've used front fogs in anger.

That list sounds right, I did all of mine except the front fog and vanity mirrors.
Don't forget there are three lights in the boot, one automatic and two switched for the third row of passengers...
The mirrors annoy me every time I see them....Sill protection - LED internal lights - LED reverse lights - boot liner - Dog Guard - Rock sliders

You mean the vanity mirrors not being LED?
I just checked mine thinking I needed 1 pack of 2 for those - but there's 2 x bulbs per mirror.._______________________

Advantage of having a poverty(ish) level D3 is no bulbs to change in vanity mirror.

I had same issue - so assumed it was because they weren't in stock... _______________________

LED bulbs arrived today & I've fitted them.
My maths is a lil rusty - I still managed to order 2 less than I needed! Grr! I think I forgot to include the 2 footwell ones - so I couldn't do the number plate bulbs...
The smaller vanity ones were a bit of a because as the bulb comes out of the tiny socket (in itself a game), the bulbs terminals short against the socket and pop's the 10a fuse (fuse 57 on the D4)!
So, my advice is to pull that fuse before fitting them (I used up 2!) and then shove it back in when they're fitted but before the lens / diffuser is back on - that way they can be manipulated etc. without having to remove the lens again.
Glove box one gave me a hard time too but sorted it after a while..The switch & bulb socket is one assy/assembly..
Anyway - results are very good, the whole of the interior is very well lit - its like daylight inside now
One of the things that is enhanced from the D3 I had - to the D4 I now have, is that the interior handles are LED illuminated and the LED colour temperature of the new bulbs pretty much match the interior door handle LED's - not that they're all on at the same time but the map-reading lights (& maybe footwell lights when driving??) could be...Anyways - small point.
So I need two more 5630 T10's grr!
Well - I can heartily recommend them - big difference and worth doing
P.s. the 80w reverse bulbs haven't arrived yet - quite looking forward to seeing those fitted & working!_______________________
