Interior LED's

Welll i received my LED Bulbs that i order from brian, and let me tell you that i am very pleased with his service. well i had no problem installing the map lights, door lights, rear lights and trunk light. i will post pics as soon as i can, the only problem that i had and dont recommend getting is the glove deparment box and center console LED's because when you try to insert the housing where the LED's go it dosent fit, so for that reason i did not installed them.


The problem that im having is removing the housing for the vanity mirror lights, can someone tell me how to remove the covers? My next situation is how to remove the license plate and reverse lights. can someone tell me how to also remove the lights?

Thank you all.

You can file down the center console and glovebox LEDs so they fit- you have to be careful not to break them though.

It's really the only gripe I had with Brian's stuff- I don't think he should sell them as replacement bulbs as they don't really fit.

Here's what I posted on the vanity lights...

You need to slip a butter knife between the plastic and the metal flange beneath and pry it off. Be careful- it's easy to get the knife under the metal flange- you need to make sure you're between the two. Once you have it in there I think it helps if you push the knife in towards the light as you'll be bending the tab holding it up.

Just take it gently and you'll get it without busting anything. Unfortunately it was my experience that once you've done this it doesn't make it any easier to do it again. It's not really like the doors or other lights.

I gotta tell you, I've read all the threads on the LED lights, have gotten them all in except for the glove box, console and vanity lights. Those vanity light are a B*tch!!!, I've tired the butter knife and I know I've gotten it between the metal flange and the lens and I still can't get it off! I've tried several lights with no luck. I feel like I'm going to right the light right out of the headliner. I found the license plate bulbs to be hard also, but I was able to get them in.
