yeah thats pretty sweet!

 

Hi all, first post to this forumn . Great idea on the lights, thanks for the info.

I've been thinking of getting the illuminated Kickplate but I'd want to change out the bulb for a Red LED since I have a Red G. I was just wondering if anyone has tried to replace this bulb yet and know the specs.

 

Has anyone noticed any issues replacing the lights, I read one post where he said the map lights never went off all the way and glowed. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem?

 

Thats by design, there will always be voltage on that circuit. They're on, but you cant notice them unless you actually try to.

 

uhh anyone help or tips i seriously cant get my bulbs out of the housing i think my fingers are to fat oh ill post pics up as soon as im done im using UV lights instead there pretty nice everything glows

 

if you're talkin bout the door lights, just use a flathead screwdrivre, put a piece of cloth over it, and gently pry off, they surprising are easily maybe start with the bottom first, then the top

 

i used pliers with lots of tape =D sticky side out so it would hold onto the bulb so i wouldnt put to much pressure on it also im in NJ and its snowing like a mother right now.. lol the things i do for my car in the snow just to change bulbs i actually have 5led bulbs i JUST ordered 12leds because its not as bright as i would like on the inside im basically doing what the first poster did except with UV lights including the back licence plate will post pics when my other set of bulbs get here

 

Yea i used a screwdriver with a towel over it..

 

i dont get the screw driver with a towel process to remove the bulb not the housing like the actually bulb wouldnt it break?

 

I grabbed mine out with a needle nose pliers and gentle grip. They came out with no problems. When I did it, it was too cold and I couldnt get a grip on the bulb, so that is why I used a pliers.

 

i just did it with the cloth screwdriver method slowly withalittle pressure it popped out, cus i think direct metal to glass more prone to breaking as the cloth provides a little damper

 

Couold not get the bulbs out either had to get my wife to do it. My fingers were to big. Did i ever feel like a *****.

 

awh that sucks..i was just trying to order them and they are out of the 12's for the interior Ohh well ill just wait until the get them back in stock.

And as for that...just save the old incandescent bulbs and reinstall them if the LEDs fail : )

 

would i be able to fit the 9's for the map and trunk since the 12's are out of stock?

 

Would i be able to fit the 9's instead of the 12's since they are out of stock?? any suggestions?
