Just wanted to let everyone know, I just did this install last night on a 2015 sport. Worked like a dream! The only challenging part was removing the mushroom tabs. Secondly in the video he unplugged the cable to the rear window switch and the overhead little cup holder light. I did not unplug the cables for these! There were clips holding the switch that were much easier to undo and the switch came right out as well as the little light just pops out. Recommend this over trying to undo the clips! Thanks so much for this video! I followed it and it works like a charm. My lights are great! No flickering at all. I noticed the old lights flickered while I was working on them too. Definitely some connector issue but I prefer these bright ones! Awesome work
Thanks for the feedback Matt and glad you found the video helpful! I agree with the clips but that was my first time taking it apart so I just disconnected everything but like you mentioned probably easier to do it the other way. Let me know what you think of the other RAM videos on the channel too when you get a chance 👍😎
Had a lot of trouble with the speed clips, not as easy as shown on the video. My metal clips stayed in the roof and got bent and would not allow the console back in. Finally figured it out. Lights are 10x better than factory. Awesome!!
WOW, exactly what I was looking for to fix my lame flickering, dim OEM console lights. I tried a 194 LED bulb since I had some on hand and am so thankful how things turned out. I appreciate you dude! Wish you well in the days ahead.
Great video, I did the same to my truck except I just plugged LED 194 bulbs into the socket. Probably not quite as bright but much better than it was before.
I find your video a couple of years ago. And today I finally got around to doing it. Followed your steps and all worked perfectly. Thanks for your help. I love the amount of light I get now.
Great video! Went just as expected. Unfortunately 1. They were way too bright and 2. They started flickering after 3 months and then now work intermittently. Came with extras so going to swap out and see what happens. Thanks!
Same thing here. When I re-did it the second time I made the wire lead accessible through the hole on the chrome plate. Now all I have to do is pop the clicker lens off, pull the stick on LED pad out to expose the wiring harness, then plug the new light in and put everything back.
Man I can’t appreciate you enough for this video! Dodge already replaced it once and it went out AGAIN and they wouldn’t do anything! They wanted $300!!!
I followed your video step by step. I cannot emphasize enough - check polarity ! Wires are not held in place in the connector that snaps into the 194 socket, I had to play with it alot to get it to stay. Very impressed by your video, I had some trouble getting the connectors apart to pop the console out. They all come apart differently. End result is very bright. Thanks for filming it !
Great video and definitely helpful. I lost patience on the mushroom tabs and ended up drilling a small hole. It clips back in when done correctly (mine weren't all correct lol). Thanks for sharing great vids
Great Post. I have seen a couple of other posts where the LED Board was replaced with a bulb and after the bulb would not work or illuminate bright when truck is off and the switch was clicked. Do you have same problem with yours? Doesn't look like it. Thanks
Thanks for the video. All done on my 2020 1500 DS except I soldered the wires into the wedge sockets as I couldn't get a good connection using the wedges. The hardest part was removing the console as the clips just wouldn't let go and once out I had to repair the clip holders. Hope I don't ever have to remove it again.
So, I did this in my 14 limited. It worked well for a few months, but the LEDs in the video description are now failing. Multiple rows are dead and the rest now flash really bad. Has anyone found a better led panel of the same style? I have more of the same ones but I don't feel like doing it again every 6 months.
@@willingandable1123 I had originally purchased a ten pack of the lights in the video. I looked around online for other options that were similar, but nearly every one had reviews about diodes going bad. I ended up just using the ones I had again. So far they're doing okay. I'd really like to find a more long term solution.
@@mountaingoat755 It seems they work for a few weeks or maybe even a couple of months, but then a row will go out and/or it will start flickering. I've considered soldering the connection rather than "clipping" them together, but I'm afraid the problem is in the LED panel rather than the connection.
Yeah it's definitely the diodes themselves. Mine lost a few lights at a time and the rest would flicker really bad. They are bright, but longevity is an issues for sure.
@@physiques yes they do! Put about 20k on the truck since then with at LEAST 4 times daily opening and closing and leaving the door open while hooking and unhooking trailer and I haven’t lost even one of the little led bulbs in them yet!
Quite the event to change a bulb .......looking at your video I'm thinking my overhead light on one side isn't as bright as the other side because it might have broken loose and it's out of position, not burnt or otherwise...just out of position....that possible?
The dealership glued the two center pine to remove the overhead console. Any thoughts on how to remove it? Can i replace my oem light bulbs without removing everything?
I did this mod last year after watching your video. The replacement LED's flicker now when they are activated by a door opening. When the overhead lights are pressed (while the doors are closed), they don't flicker. Is this happening to yours after a year? Just wondering if I got bad leds. Both bulbs do it.
I do not have factory LED’s in my 2017 interior console but did replace the factory with LED’s. Since then I noticed my interior lights will not always come on when I open the doors as they should. Dodge told me it’s because I put in LED bulbs. Is that true and why? Thank you and as always great videos!
Honestly its probably just a crappy bulb. You can actually buy the exact same kit that I used in this video on your truck too. Its just 100 times easier to install on yours lol. Just pop out the old bulb and plug it in on yours and you will have these crazy bright LED panels too! Let me know if you need more info!
What am I doing wrong? Install was easy enough but within a month they start flickering and go out. I've replaced them again and same thing. Ideas? Thanks.
I have a 2015 ram sport and I have the same problem with my interior lights flickering in and out they’re very very weak. What’s the part number or Amazon number to order those online so I can order the right one. Thanks
Since you used that small led board, could I use a bigger led board that fills in the whole chrome section vs a small one like yours ? Or does it have to be a small one with 9 leds, also what about the rear one it won’t match
Yeah you can definitely use a bigger board! I just wanted some smaller ones for the front lights and they came with a bunch in a pack so I used the rest on the rear dome light 👍
awesome stuff bro, there's a few vids on older model rams replacing the map lights. this is the first vid I found with the newer style led map lights. mine was flickering but fortunately still under warranty. now I know what to do when they fail again. subbed.
love the vid. I did everything as prescribed. I am having an issue with the lights, they will not turn off. the on and off switch is not working (white switch)Any suggestions? The will turn off if I turn off the internal lights. Help?
I figured it out....Key Off, Door Open: Works Key On, Door Open: Works Truck Running, Door Open: Works Key On, Door Closed, Map Light Clicked: Works Truck Running, Door Closed, Map Light Clicked: Works Key OFF, Door Closed, Map Lights Clicked: DO NOT WORK
I think my truck didn't have factory LED, some one put some aftermarket LED bulbs that were a 2x2 connected to the socket and they started flickering. I bought the kit you recommended and had to glue the LED pad into the chrome shroud because its dome shaped . It should work just as well. Currently waiting for the glue to dry so I can finish the instal.
GREAT video, love your channel. It was much brighter while it lasted. I did this upgrade, but should not have. In my case I have an extended warranty, so the console is covered. (I KNOW). Also, the double stick tape pulled the circuit board contacts off the housing, so even though the LED still works, the contacts were broken and after about 8 months I had to replace the whole console. :-(
super helpful, I'm in the same position. thinking I should let the dealer do fix the non - working lights so they are culpable for any issues. Truck only has 18k miles. thanks for posting!
So I just received these from Amazon (followed your link) and instead of a row of 9 LEDs (3 rows of 3)like yours has, the ones they send now have 24 LEDs (8 rows of 3) 😳 Hoping I dont run into clearance issues, and I assume they will be annoyingly brighter, but will see when I install them this weekend. Thanks for the videos!
@@BoostedMotorsports No clearance issues, bright as hell. I also did the truck bed LED strips install and some LED fog lights w/DRLs today.. Your videos help out a ton, thanks again.
Looks good, great idea. The fact that the LED panels are not centered in the clear covered area would drive me nuts. I'd probably go with bigger LED panels and/or center them and use a frosted vinyl film over the clear cover to "hide" them.
I just did this to my truck and they are perfect. They come on fine if I open the door and turn them on from the dimmer switch, but for some reason they won’t fully light up if I click them on individually. It’s almost like they aren’t getting full power because they are really dim. What do you think would cause them to not fully light up when being clicked on individually??
Been looking to upgrade my interior dome lights couldn’t fined any LED’s for my 14 sport truck found your video followed your steps and got it done thanks for this video man 🙏👊
Do you think I could add the overhead console? I dont have one and I do think the wiring is there...anyone cut through the headliner and made that change?
Lol wish I thought of this. I used regular 194 bulbs and they're obviously not angled the best or in the correct position for the best light reflection. Gonna have to change to these.
Thanks Bert! I have it linked in the description of this video. Theres a ton of companies that sell these cheap LEDs but I might find a different brand cause a couple led on the circuit has died off.
Hey Pedro it will work but you will have a different chrome piece in yours and you probably don't have to take out the whole console. Just remove halogen bulb and plug in the LED circuit and you should be good to go!
Got the replacement done in my truck.... kind of doubt that I'll be getting the Chrome reflectors off again after I super glued them lol but that's okay. I ran the wires on the spade plug in their original recessed channels cuz the opposite side seemed way too tight and couldn't get it in the outlet. The backside of the sticky tape is really lame, hardly sticks. I guess I could super glue that too LOL. And I've noticed that sometimes the flicker was not because of the LED lights, it must be something else along the line.... Maybe the plug connection? Or maybe a grounding issue somewhere? Or maybe a voltage issue somewhere.... These are pretty nice, they are hella bright, almost too bright. I might make some sort of lamp shade for the map lights LOL
Yeah you have to really make sure those metal prongs have good contact with the clips like I was showing cause mine was flickering too at first! They are definitely bright! 😎
Any issues with the LEDs yet? I've had a set in an older vehicle dim to a blue of I left them on for more than a couple minutes. Also looks like you could go with a bigger board. I noticed they had a 4x6 (24 LEDs)
No issues so far! I went with this size because the clear button actually collapses onto the chrome piece when you turn the light on or off. The small LED panel I used I situated where the hinge portion is so that there is no interference but if you used a larger panel it would definitely hit. You could always make a custom standoff for the LED panel but I wanted to make a simple mod :D
So if they flicker is it a must to do all this removal? Cant we just replace the bulb with a new T10 LED bulb// Please let me know b4 i start teaing shit up lol
I just replaced my flickering map lights too. I haven't looked at the rear dome light yet. I've heard that it is an nonreplacable circuit board led. Have you tried to change your's yet? Thanks
Codya523 your better off getting a rear dome (Halogen version) to replace LED unit. Then just replace the bulb with a LED. Me I used two of the LED strips he used, and put them side by side in the dome...... Beautiful light now.
W Jackson do you have a link to where you purchased the halogen dome light housing? I'm having trouble figuring out which one will work in place of the led housing. Does the old led housing come out by just unplugging something and does the halogen one just plug into the same connector?
Awesome video! Going to do this install later today. I was wondering if you have ever swapped the vanity mirror lights in you RAM for LED’s, and if so what bulb worked for you?
I’m super happy with how they turned out, thanks again for the amazing DIY video for that. I look forward to seeing a video from you in the future for the vanity bulbs!
Hey Barry I have a video for the upper glove box but haven't looked into that ambient lighting yet! Maybe if there is enough interest I could tackle a custom job 😁
Just got my kit, just have to find time to tackle it... Switched out my glove box light for one of those though, Super easy. Any concerns regarding the heat these little guys put out? It got awful hot while trying to position it in the box
No problem Gordon! Check out the description for the video where I put the name and link to amazon for the LED lights I picked up for this install. Let me know if you have any other questions!
I bought the led light to upgrade in my 2010 Dodge Ram Laramie. Lights won’t work in console or even the rear dome light. My truck when I exit the dome lights come on, I shut the door and they slowly dim down. Is that module some crazy engineer added to make them dim down slowly causing that? My lights don’t flicker, I just wanted them brighter. I tested the bulbs and there good. The OEM bulbs are not led.
BoostedMotorsports The plug in led lights don’t work at all. The regular bulbs work fine and when I shut off the engine and exit they light up, when I shut truck door they don’t go out immediately, they slowly dim down to off. I had bought similar bulbs for my old outdoor landscape lights with a old outdoor 300 Watt transformer. I changed out the 11 watt bulbs and put these 1 Watt bulbs in and they were super bright. I bought these bulbs off eBay for my Truck year, model. The lights they sent even worked in outdoor landscape lights. I just noticed it says a different engine. I have a hemi engine. They are refunding my money. I bought every available option including the TV in back. I have and adapter for my phone that goes to RCA jacks and I can let passengers use the adapter and watch Dish anywhere. They eliminated the TV option I think in 2010 so that’s probably when the went to leds in front upper console. I had 5k of mods done to truck. Carpeted bed, put a hard top with aero wing and one of the slide out units put in so I could reach my oxygen bottles. Had to get a state permit and they ran a pipe from plug to cabin so I could run oxygen lines to the large m tanks. I on 7 liters of oxygen and it made me able to drive with out constantly changing tanks. It’s mainly sit in garage on a trickle charger or after 4-5 weeks the battery goes dead. Only have 22, 600 miles on it. Thank you
Is the console that different on a 2015 because i was able to just change bulbs to get a brighter interior or am i missing something else you did? Love all the video's keep them going.
It depends if your truck came with the LED tail lights and projector headlights. Those trucks also have LED interior lighting prone to failing like the ones you saw me remove. If you just have the standard headlights and tail lights you will have peanut bulbs that you can easily upgrade for LED without going through all the hassle you saw in this video!
@@77bruinbear my 2014 Ram 1500 limited actually has two. One of which is the couple room light and the other I was told was an temperature sensor for inside the cabin but once you take off that panel there is no sensor or wires to it
@@jdl3i Oh yeah the smaller one. I was told the same thing. Maybe its to let just a bit of heat out since it's on the ceiling and they don't want the LED's shorting out 😉
My 2014 Ram truck overhead console lights also flicker, so I replaced them using your video as a guide. Lights are working great. The hardest thing was removing the four connectors. Great video. Thank for sharing.
I used a red hot screw driver to cut the plastic lump off of the inside clear cover. Then I cut off the plug on the oem light to give me clearance for the new light harness. This allowed me to hide the light strip between the oem light and chrome piece. The small cover allows 6 of the lights to shine through but now I don’t have to look at that ugly light strip.
I just can't get the second and third one off (the sunroof control and the little light)... Anyone have tips on how to take these off? My wires are also crazy short so that doesn't really help. :(
Has anyone done both ways? You can just replace the halogen bulbs with LED bulbs via the plastic cover that you press up OR do this route. Is there any difference between the two ways?

Hooked them up nice and bright but won’t work individually only with light switch or doors so any suggestions
Can you just put in a led 194 bulb into the connector for the original led?
Sure can! Just might have to remove the chrome inserts as they will block most of the light from a regular 194 LED bulb
Does this work with the led bulbs that arent like this? Or did i buy the wrong ones . Mine are just to put in place no wire or mounting tape

I did this upgrade, but my led bulbs don’t last long. 1-2 months at most. Any suggestions on a longer lasting bulbs?
Would it be possible to to mount the new led board without removing the OEM led board?
The old LED board plugs into the connector so you could but would have to solder wires to get it to work.
Is there any way to fix the broken push button that actually turns on the lights?
Where did you buy everything and what's it called so I can find it and do the same.
Looks good, great idea. The fact that the LED panels are not centered in the clear covered area would drive me nuts. I'd probably go with bigger LED panels and/or center them and use a frosted vinyl film over the clear cover to "hide" them.

There are different sizes and colors. I went with this one: Led Type: 5730 9SMD; Color: Cool White
Boosted2k thanks! Will have to do this to mine. Love the videos.
For sure let me know how you like it!!!
Came out great! Such a big difference. Great instructions to follow!
I just did this to my truck and they are perfect. They come on fine if I open the door and turn them on from the dimmer switch, but for some reason they won’t fully light up if I click them on individually. It’s almost like they aren’t getting full power because they are really dim. What do you think would cause them to not fully light up when being clicked on individually??
Been looking to upgrade my interior dome lights couldn’t fined any LED’s for my 14 sport truck found your video followed your steps and got it done thanks for this video man 🙏👊
Thank you very much for taking the time to make & post DIY video. Much appreciated.
Do you think I could add the overhead console? I dont have one and I do think the wiring is there...anyone cut through the headliner and made that change?
crap, I bought standard 194 LED's from another video..... guess I should have watched the master first off!! Great video boss!!
Can someone tell me if you can just buy the whole unit with the white leds i hate the yellow accents and my lights are hard wired in
Thanks for the videos..I did these changes to my ram!! I still have to do my rear cab light still.
Did you ever do the one in the back ..
Lol wish I thought of this. I used regular 194 bulbs and they're obviously not angled the best or in the correct position for the best light reflection. Gonna have to change to these.
Thanks for the video. I just ordered the parts to fix my Ram.
Great video, done well. However, I may have missed this. What is the package (light kit) that I need to order from Amazon?
Thanks Bert! I have it linked in the description of this video. Theres a ton of companies that sell these cheap LEDs but I might find a different brand cause a couple led on the circuit has died off.
Do you have an order/parts number for panel for the repair from Amazon kit , having issue with so many different kits ?
Buddy good video. To change the light of the middle rear seat. How do you do it ... and what LED light do you recommend. No panel errors.
Thanks
I would like to do this on my 2009 ram 1500 do you think this lights work? I don’t think I have stock leds on mine.
Hey Pedro it will work but you will have a different chrome piece in yours and you probably don't have to take out the whole console. Just remove halogen bulb and plug in the LED circuit and you should be good to go!
Boosted2k all right I’ll search it and hopefully I can get rid of those yellowish interior lights thanks!
Best yet, followed your instructions works awesome. Thanks
Twist the panel tool for the overhead lights. Sorta like a big flat head it popped right out.
Got the replacement done in my truck.... kind of doubt that I'll be getting the Chrome reflectors off again after I super glued them lol but that's okay. I ran the wires on the spade plug in their original recessed channels cuz the opposite side seemed way too tight and couldn't get it in the outlet. The backside of the sticky tape is really lame, hardly sticks. I guess I could super glue that too LOL. And I've noticed that sometimes the flicker was not because of the LED lights, it must be something else along the line.... Maybe the plug connection? Or maybe a grounding issue somewhere? Or maybe a voltage issue somewhere.... These are pretty nice, they are hella bright, almost too bright. I might make some sort of lamp shade for the map lights LOL
Yeah you have to really make sure those metal prongs have good contact with the clips like I was showing cause mine was flickering too at first! They are definitely bright! 😎
Any issues with the LEDs yet? I've had a set in an older vehicle dim to a blue of I left them on for more than a couple minutes. Also looks like you could go with a bigger board. I noticed they had a 4x6 (24 LEDs)
No issues so far! I went with this size because the clear button actually collapses onto the chrome piece when you turn the light on or off. The small LED panel I used I situated where the hinge portion is so that there is no interference but if you used a larger panel it would definitely hit. You could always make a custom standoff for the LED panel but I wanted to make a simple mod :D
Ok. Thanks. I'm loving the videos. I bought a 2016 black sport little over a year ago. I'm getting some good ideas from your videos.
So if they flicker is it a must to do all this removal? Cant we just replace the bulb with a new T10 LED bulb// Please let me know b4 i start teaing shit up lol
Yeah you can toss a t10 in there but still need to remove all that factory junk to get at them since these factory LEDs are semi/permanent
Thanks again bro for the videos! Just finished my led console lights! Went flawless thanks to your video! You da man!
Tried the mod on my Dodge Ram 2014. The LED LIGHTS WORK but the switches to turn lights off don’t work anymore.
I just replaced my flickering map lights too. I haven't looked at the rear dome light yet. I've heard that it is an nonreplacable circuit board led. Have you tried to change your's yet? Thanks
Michael F that is correct I've changed the front and went to change the rear just to find out it is a circuit board with a tiny led
Codya523 your better off getting a rear dome (Halogen version) to replace LED unit. Then just replace the bulb with a LED. Me I used two of the LED strips he used, and put them side by side in the dome...... Beautiful light now.
W Jackson do you have a link to where you purchased the halogen dome light housing? I'm having trouble figuring out which one will work in place of the led housing. Does the old led housing come out by just unplugging something and does the halogen one just plug into the same connector?
Michael F Here you go. I got it off of Ebay. Fits like a glove.

Baby I missed it but do you have any Amazon links for the bulbs and connectors you used?
Awesome video! Going to do this install later today. I was wondering if you have ever swapped the vanity mirror lights in you RAM for LED’s, and if so what bulb worked for you?
Thanks Ryan! I haven't tackled the vanity bulbs yet but will definitely make a video on it when it happens! How are you liking the dome lights? 😁
I’m super happy with how they turned out, thanks again for the amazing DIY video for that. I look forward to seeing a video from you in the future for the vanity bulbs!
Anyone know if we can also change the little “ambient light” in that upper console too? Cheers👍🏼
Hey Barry I have a video for the upper glove box but haven't looked into that ambient lighting yet! Maybe if there is enough interest I could tackle a custom job 😁
I actually think that ambient light is perfect and didn't ever have any problems with it... Yet
Braden Lloyd
Now that I think about it, I might tend to agree. If it were way brighter, it may be too much.
Especially if you have a plastic chrome border around your cup holder council I think an aftermarket led would reflect to much at night.
I'm wanting to do the same thing. That light light just stands out when you have all led in cab. But it maybe just me.
Just got my kit, just have to find time to tackle it... Switched out my glove box light for one of those though, Super easy. Any concerns regarding the heat these little guys put out? It got awful hot while trying to position it in the box
Shouldn't be an issue with heat. I've had them in other vehicles in the past with no issues 😎
Awesome video!!! Appreciate you
Not sure if I missed the part where you mentioned the replacement part number/name?
Thanks
No problem Gordon! Check out the description for the video where I put the name and link to amazon for the LED lights I picked up for this install. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Great video I used this led for under hood super bright
I bought the led light to upgrade in my 2010 Dodge Ram Laramie. Lights won’t work in console or even the rear dome light. My truck when I exit the dome lights come on, I shut the door and they slowly dim down. Is that module some crazy engineer added to make them dim down slowly causing that?
My lights don’t flicker, I just wanted them brighter. I tested the bulbs and there good. The OEM bulbs are not led.
Hmm thats strange Brett. So the lights work with the opening of the door but not when you press the switch on the light?
BoostedMotorsports The plug in led lights don’t work at all. The regular bulbs work fine and when I shut off the engine and exit they light up, when I shut truck door they don’t go out immediately, they slowly dim down to off. I had bought similar bulbs for my old outdoor landscape lights with a old outdoor 300 Watt transformer. I changed out the 11 watt bulbs and put these 1 Watt bulbs in and they were super bright.
I bought these bulbs off eBay for my Truck year, model. The lights they sent even worked in outdoor landscape lights. I just noticed it says a different engine. I have a hemi engine. They are refunding my money.
I bought every available option including the TV in back. I have and adapter for my phone that goes to RCA jacks and I can let passengers use the adapter and watch Dish anywhere. They eliminated the TV option I think in 2010 so that’s probably when the went to leds in front upper console. I had 5k of mods done to truck. Carpeted bed, put a hard top with aero wing and one of the slide out units put in so I could reach my oxygen bottles. Had to get a state permit and they ran a pipe from plug to cabin so I could run oxygen lines to the large m tanks. I on 7 liters of oxygen and it made me able to drive with out constantly changing tanks. It’s mainly sit in garage on a trickle charger or after 4-5 weeks the battery goes dead. Only have 22, 600 miles on it. Thank you
Dude I don’t ever comment on any thing… but dude this shit needs to be shared!!! Nice work
Is the console that different on a 2015 because i was able to just change bulbs to get a brighter interior or am i missing something else you did? Love all the video's keep them going.
It depends if your truck came with the LED tail lights and projector headlights. Those trucks also have LED interior lighting prone to failing like the ones you saw me remove. If you just have the standard headlights and tail lights you will have peanut bulbs that you can easily upgrade for LED without going through all the hassle you saw in this video!
Boosted2k wow thanks for that explanation that makes alot of sense. Awesome job!!!
Hey @boostedmotorsports do you know what the recess hole is for behind the rear window switch?
Its a little light for the cup holders below
@@77bruinbear my 2014 Ram 1500 limited actually has two. One of which is the couple room light and the other I was told was an temperature sensor for inside the cabin but once you take off that panel there is no sensor or wires to it
@@jdl3i Oh yeah the smaller one. I was told the same thing. Maybe its to let just a bit of heat out since it's on the ceiling and they don't want the LED's shorting out 😉
Just did mine works great super bright. Thank man
My 2014 Ram truck overhead console lights also flicker, so I replaced them using your video as a guide. Lights are working great. The hardest thing was removing the four connectors. Great video. Thank for sharing.
Great video. Which brand did you buy? Happy with them?
What about the floor lights
Awesome. Love how bright they are.
Thank you what a nice video. Can’t wait to do this to my ‘13. Isn’t it a shame Stelantis didn’t make this a serviceable part. What a ripoff!
I used a red hot screw driver to cut the plastic lump off of the inside clear cover. Then I cut off the plug on the oem light to give me clearance for the new light harness. This allowed me to hide the light strip between the oem light and chrome piece. The small cover allows 6 of the lights to shine through but now I don’t have to look at that ugly light strip.
I just can't get the second and third one off (the sunroof control and the little light)... Anyone have tips on how to take these off?
My wires are also crazy short so that doesn't really help. :(
I just finished this mod, works great. Thanks
Has anyone done both ways? You can just replace the halogen bulbs with LED bulbs via the plastic cover that you press up OR do this route. Is there any difference between the two ways?
Followed this fix and it works great, thank you for sharing!
Nice thanks for video bud!
do they get hot ?
They don't generate enough heat to do any harm. Not like the high output ones you see for the headlight bulbs at all.
I did this upgrade using the same led’s and have had to replace them twice, they fail quickly.
Great video brother , very informative! I will be doing mine this weekend ! Thanks man !
Thanks Dan! Let us know how you like it! 🤘
Would you mind sending me the link for this light conversion kit. It would be appreciated. Thanks
