Ohh, the videos help a lot... haha. Now I feel kinda retarded.

kkokko: there's a thread on how to take apart the tail lights to access the reverse light bulbs. I think it's this one. Let me know if you can figure out how to do it!

Vanity mirrors are pretty easy because there's actually a little slot on the right side for you to put a flat head in and pry out – just be very careful, it's pretty delicate!

The glove compartment light is a giant pita to change because you have to pull out the whole thing (page 100 in the INL manual and page 21 in the IP manual).

Get them from this seller on ebay! Two 31mm festoon bulbs for about $10 including shipping! That's where I got mine.

http://cgi.ebay.ca/1pc-31mm-Vanity-3...713.m153.l1262

Looks like its 31mm by 6mm vs 31mm by 5mm did yours fit properly?

This is what my setup is going to be. Let me know what you guys think.

WLED-x5 Cool White (License Plate)
921-x12 Blue (Doors) For a little contrast with the white
921-x12 Cool White (Map/Dome)
WLED-WHP Pure White (Reverse Lights & Trunk)
3 LED SMT Festoon (Vanity)


Has anyone changed their city lights? If so, what kind and where you bought it from?

The city lights use the same 194/168/w5w wedge type bulbs. Just make sure you get ones that aren't too wide or else they won't fit through the headlight housing!
