do you have to take off the lining inside the trunk to get at these or can you do it from outside the car?

 

Pretty sure you need to take off the lining. It's simple to do and you don't need to take it completely off although I would.

 

Do yourself a favor and do it from inside the trunk. Remove the lining and go at it. I did the left side from outside the car and it was a huge pita. Right side took less than 15 minutes when I did it from inside the trunk.

Search the 3g garage and their should be something in there to help you.

 

Yes you have to remove part of the lining. i did this yesterday. remove the 3 left, and 2 right locking clips and the screw for that little handle to the right of the truck lock.

 

BTW - where in CLT are you. Quite a few of us. Meet 3/7 in Waxhaw. https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...383653&page=25

 

^^ He's already on the list. You need to take the liner out and I have done it before. Very simple and if you need help, get the lights and swing over my house. Can be done in less than 30 minutes.

 

Guys, does the same go for the trunk light...remove the liner too?

 

no thats just a plastic cover like the interior lights.

 

more like the vanity lights. that was hard to remove

 

fuck them vanity lights!!!! did'em last night and OMFG!!! had to come back upstairs and look it up on AZ and how to remove them things. good ol' AZ, never let you down but Damn them vanity lights sucks!! but nah i dont think the trunk lights were that hard

 

ftw! Hid vanity lights!!!!! :d

 

to blind yourself?? F that, you got to do rear domes! your mirror MIGHT dim it LMAO

 

check out the 4 LED and 6 LED flank bulbs that V-led has to offer.

 

is V-led a supplier or a member here?

 

www.v-leds.com

 

thanks!

 

For that very reason is why I left them alone. My girlfriend is the only one who uses them and she doesn't mind. Those and the lights in the armrest and glove box are stock incandescents. The rest are LEDs.

 

what is the ideal viewing angle for these bulbs 120*? i was looking at the V-LEDS HID WHITE 6 LED M-SMT FLANK BULBS 194, they have a viewing angle of 120* and a current draw of 90mA. i think these will suffice....?

 

will they fit though?

 

go for it, those are the one's I have and they light up nicely!!! you won't regret it. I'll try to get some pics for you guys.

 

For those of you guys who were asking about the 6 LED flank bulbs from V-LEDS, this is what they look like.

 

I helped put the lights in golfjfw car and they look nice....

I also have the v-leds like you and they are the biggest bulb you can fit in there and they really put out some nice white light....

 

Changing out those leds gets easier and easier. I'm sure I'll be doing some more once these v-leds fail again.
