The lights behind the temp control on my passenger side went out. Off the top of any of your heads, do you remember if it's a fuse or how to replace?

Pic for reference... like you even really need it lol

for leds anyway... but the leds are going to be brighter and possibly give you hotspots where theyre brighter than factory bulbs... i dont think that autozone/advance/o'rileys will have them. When they used to go out on customers cars when i worked at best buy, the dealer was the closest place we could go to get them quickly

Yea I have the base. Hmm.. true. I replace all the interior lights with some LED's - girl got out of the car last night and was like "damn it's bright in here!". I may change out the white for the light blue and do all the interior.... *thinking out loud*

Bulbs are t3 neo wedge. However IIRC, they only project the light in one direction which is straight ahead. So they are pefrect for the console area but for seat heater buttons you either have to use a regular bulb or bend/modify/solder the led bulbs to get them to point upwards and light up the lettering.

I have been fighting with the vanity mirror lights trying to remove the cover for 3 days now. Read all the ways of doing it on here, i can put it down at least 3cm with 3 tiny screw drivers, but it just will not come off. Same with the trunk light. Fuck whoever made this car like that

Once you get the first one off. You will be able to do it in about 7 seconds per lights. hahaha wish I could help you but after I swapped my lights out I haven't messed with them

Good luck

this is what it looked like i was able to pry further to the point where i could see the bulb. It felt like i was going to pull the metal piece out and the liner. It never budged once.

IamaTL there is only 1 side where there is a tab holding it in then the light just kinda drops down and the other side comes out.

Hard to explain. You only need 1 screwdriver to do it though. I wish I could explain more.

See ya'll in a few days, gonna get called out around 3 am so popping in a movie and I am out.

^^that's what I was thinking also, there is a tab on one side that gets pushed in and the whole thing drops out. It's been a while since I've done mine though.

where you have it in the pic, there should be a spot that the screwdriver won't slide all the way into the light like that. try pushing on that spot and swinging the light down out of the way. try that on each side, that thing should come out pretty easy.

I got the small LED's and they are plenty bright as you can see. I ordered the same ones for the map lights, front and back and the courtesy lights in the bottom of the door. I still have white ones to add in the vanity and a blue light for the trunk.

Also, if you order from them follow their Facebook, I got 15% off when I ordered mine

Thanks Majofo!

Here's the blue ones I have
