Hello again. Thank you guys for anwering all of my questions in here, I appreciate it.

The floor lights are a little dim. I was wondering if there is a way to replace the bulb and make it brighter? Seems like it should be an easy fix, kind of like removing the bluetooth module. When I opened the passenger kick panel I noticed the bulb and could probably replace it, if that would help.

it depends, on the 2009-2010 the bulb has a black plastic lense which blocks almost all of the light. the solution was to drill a hole in the plastic lense to allow all of the light output. If you have a newer year it should have the clear lense. If you want a brighter light than this you can look at a different bulb but you need to deal with using the factory bulb holder or making your own with the stock wires.

Post pictures of your project.

Might be a little harder than it sounds. According to my 2012 manual, the footwell lights are LEDs. Does not give a part number, but lists several locations for LED, and in the individual sketches, they all look the same.

You can pull it out, you might be able to get a a brighter one in the same size and shape, socket, etc. I don't know if you need to worry about the LED having the exact resistor, since I don't think it monitors that circuit. But the LED is shown with a built in resistor

Looks like they are on fuse 6 (tho some drawings saw 16, which is the cargo area power socket. green and pink wires going to each footwell light.

Oh cool, thank you for retrieving that information for me. I will go to Autozone and ask about it and let you guys know what I find out.

Autozone may have the replacement, but not sure about "brighter" ones. You may need to hit the internet 3rd party supplier to get brighter ones.
