LED map lights installed
Simple $12+shipping and great results. Bought the bulbs on superbrightLEDs. They look identical to the $30 bulbs on AmericanMuscle but 1/3 of the price. (WLED-WHP5: Cool White)
Install was very easy except the darned LED bulbs don't fit into the plastic hole. If i had a drill or file on hand I would have lightly enlarged the hole. But since I didn't :upyours: I had to jam them in and hope they didn't break, got lucky that one made a cracking sound but nothing visible happened. Here is the result. http://i.imgur.com/uwdjmK1l.jpg Sorry I forgot to take a before picture from outside the car. Note that this is inside a parking garage with so-so visibility. |
Same exact bulbs in my car. They.

To get the light cover off, do you just yank it down? Or is there a trick? I have tried to pull mine off but it feels like it's going to rip the damn headliner right off.
|
You pull down the little plastic pieces not the whole cover. Use a flathead with a cloth.

This shows how to put in bulbs that don't fit through the sockets. You still remove the entire assembly. That is the first step in either method. Unless you tried to pop off the clear plastic while the assembly is up, that is just asking to break it. |
I popped the clear plastic off, inserted lights, replace plastic. ALso if you look at the plastic pieces they have tabs which shows they were meant to be removed. Ive had Zero probs and save time and possible future headliner probs. 1.00 plastic or 200.00 liner?

I popped the lenses off mine as well. There are 2 small tabs and 1 large, impossible to mess it up. A small flat blade screwdriver and about 1 minute of my time. I used Superbrite LED's as well, but mine are made for exterior lighting (like a license plate light) and have multiple lights on each one. Very bright.

Same ones I have in mine as well. I recently replaced the trunk LED with the single LED bulb SBLEDs had. I originally had the one that had 9 individuals. I am amazed how bright 1 tiny LED can be. Its nearly twice as bright as the one with 9.
