Hey, I just received the blue led's for the courtesy door. Now in the thread i read that the cap just pops off easily, i donno its not coming off for me and i dont wanna break it. Anybody have a good way to take it off??

thank you

 

The service manual says to just pry it out carefully. Here is a scan (right sideof the page) which will help you see where the clips are.

 

thank you very much, for taking your time to take the picture, just shows again how good the people are in this forum

happy holidays

Christoph

I got my blue LEDs here on EBAY. It's a complete set for the TL, and the price seems reasonable. He also has 6 LED bulbs for less. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=7943091858

 

Yeah i guess that seems pretty reasonable. Unless you only want your lights for the two doors and maybe one dome, otherwise your paying way too much.

I think i might get the hyper white for the domes, because i dont know how the car would look with all blue

 

36 bucks for all your lights?? the dome lights wouldn't look good with the blue in them...i think the side doors would and the center console would....... i think they would look hella nice...but its not worth 36 bucks...

 

what kinda bulbs do the side doors take????

 

He also has less expensive groupings if you just want the doors, etc. I have the ebony interior, and went with all blue, and it really looks cool at night. I didn't do the lights for the vanity mirrors. (does anyone know how to get them out?) But I would like to get some bright white LEDs for them.

I'm not sure of the bulb type, but the doors and map/dome lights are all the same.

 

would anybody actually buy these or can they find better deals?

 

It's all about personal preference. I had all white, then changed it to all blue, and personally, I think the blue gives the Ebony interior more of a "cool" feeling.

 

what kind of LED's did u put in the DOME LIGHTING? 9LED or 6LED and u got any pics?

 

 

well its not a matter of the color...its the brightness

 

For the blues, I used 9 LED version, for the whites, I used 6LED version.

 

do you think putting 9LED lights would be too bright? for the dome lighting...

 

I think it's just perfect with the blue LEDs.

 

i want to get all blue everywhere...door....back and front domes....glove compartment...center console....is that what u did?

 

Yeah, that's my set up except for the glove and center console. I have the small LEDs for them, just been lazy about hooking it up :P

 

lol i think thats what ima get...

 

do you pop off the dome cover the same way as the courtesy lights? the lens just pops off?

 

Yup, I used a dull butter knive to pop all of them off.

Thanks for the link.

 

just placed my order off of ebay :-) got the 8 light 9LED set with an extra pair of 9LED SUPER WHITE lights :-) can't wait to get my set..hope they are worth the money...

 

i didn read any of the other replies but i will tell you the way I did both my map lights and my courtesy light...

i took a piece of electrical tape, slid it behind and around the lights, they stuck to the lights, and then i held onto the tape (and not the light) and wiggled using the tape.

this way you arent pinching the lights and you have some leverage with the tape.

 

thanks that wil help me in the long run when i get them.. :-)
