Anyone swapped the flu ores cent lights in there van for led strips.

Hi, yes I have replaced the fluo guts of the lights with strips of LEDs using the same switch

Me too

I'm doing this "mod" today along with some other bits and pieces so will get some pics up later on tonight, keeping the flouro in as there a big hole in the trim behind it but adding a remote controlled 5 metre RGB strip all the way around the pop top hole, also has a "music" function to make it flash like a disco lol

I bought the strip from Ebay, cut to length and initially tried to solder the leads to the copper contact pads but found it very difficult to get a good joint so I had to go back and the pre wired contact blocks that you crimp on with pliers

Dont have flo tubes but all 4 of my interior courtesy lights have been changed from festoon bulbs to LED.

I found small panels of leds which fit inside the plastic diffuser and connected straight to existing wiring. Much brighter light.
On the 2 in the rear I found a softer light LED which is a bit nicer to sit and chill under - I also replaced the small black 3 position switch (which had become worn and vague) with a nice rocker switch.

Above the sliding door, I made a twin super bright led light for the times when lots of lght is needed.

I'll dig out some pix and E D I T if I get a minute

Disco bus!
