If you mean the ones up front, have a look at this thread:

I'm not that knowledgeable on electrics/mechanics & didn't wish to undertake a wiring job. I simply replaced the 5w bulb (the middle row one which comes on automatically) with a 21w. It's made an amazing difference. I now get light to the front of the passenger compartment. Only problem was that the heat from the higher wattage bulb distorted the lens (the 21w is a larger bulb than the 5w too), so I drilled a hole in it to let the heat escape. Problem solved. Cheap, quick & effective.

I think the other way is a wee bit less intrusive and only slightly more complicated....

Probably more professional too Iain. However all I did was change a bulb & drill a hole (no intrusions whatsoever) - a 10 minute job which gave a satisfactory result & suited me as I'm not up to messing about with electrics.

If anyone fancies a bit of a read of this thread I've found on a German Orlando forum, it gives some ideas on how to resolve the issue with regards the lack of front courtesy lights in our Orlando's....

I'm currently trying to find the Insignia front interior light on ebay.....

 

[andyjones_98]

The GM (Vauxhall) part-number that you need to get hold of, to replace the standard front interior light in the Orlando is: 13285100

I got one off ebay for £15 delivered!

This is a direct replacement for the standard item.

I've fitted mine, and have currently got just the two map-reading lights working (as per standard light). I now need to get a 'feed' from the rear interior light, to turn on the front interior light when the doors are opened. The wiring loom that feeds the front light, only has power & ground, so you can manually turn on the map-lights.

Once I've worked out which wire I need to splice in to from the rear, I'll do a full DIY guide.

You could also get this LED replacement for the dome light....
