14 ilx map light replacement

Hey guys I have 14 ilx 2.4L. I went to see what type of map lights the car has and its some weird led bulb style. I want to replace them because I want more of a xenon white light look. Has anyone changed the map lights on a 14ilx? Also is their any way to keep the footwell lights on while driving. On my 12 civic those lights were on their own switch and were able to be left on while driving. Thanks

The front map lights seem to be unchangeable.

This thread will provide you with all of your light-related questions (and then some).

I have a thread on getting to those map lights. They are a bit larger than the 3020 SMD LEDs and will require soldering work. I've ordered the LEDs, but do not have a soldering station to work on it yet. :/

I bought this SMD soldering station for $45 last month:
YIHUA SMD Soldering Station 937D Real-time Digital LED Display With Celsius / Fahrenheit Temperature Switch and 6 Iron Tips, Extra Iron Heating Element and Solder. 937D - - Amazon.com YIHUA SMD Soldering Station 937D Real-time Digital LED Display With Celsius / Fahrenheit Temperature Switch and 6 Iron Tips, Extra Iron Heating Element and Solder. 937D - - Amazon.com

So far very satisfied.

My next project is to modify a 31mm festoon LED and couple fuse vanity LED lights to have neutral white light and proper OEM brightness.
