Blown fuse from LED interior lights
Blown fuse from LED interior lights
Hey everyone not sure if any of you have swapped out your incandescent interior lights for LEDs but I did and have some questions. I somehow blew the fuse (may have been from leaving door open and dome light set to auto) and a few bulbs went out. It caused my seats to not move when someone was getting in or out of the back. Changed fuse and it worked but I can't seem to get the dome light to work with multiple bulbs. Any idea of what else to check?
Also what size LED bulb works for vanity mirror? The ones that came with the kit are too wide and same thing for dome light. Side doors, map lights, trunk, and others worked fine.

check page 22-179 of the service manual: few points to check:
The sylvania website does a good job of identifying the bulb sizes and they make a good LED bulb as well for most applications. the exception being the gear shift indicator lights and the vanity mirror lights.

For the vanity mirror, I went with a set of "fuse type LED" bulbs got on amazon for 4.99/4 pack. I would recommend placing the bulbs in a way where the LED's are facing at a 45 degree angle away from your face (facing the side or completely away is not really bright enough and facing right at will be way too bright, even through the plastic diffuse cover.
Makes a huge difference when the rest of the interior lighting is LED and this is still old school incandescent.
Did you replace LED's in the door yet? still looking for a way to keep them from being so bright.
