Not really sure what you're referring to... If your talking about the lights under the lenses, those are typically referred to as dome/map lights. They're easily swappable as long as you don't have interior LEDs. If you do have interior LED's, you'd have to remove and solder a new LED on. You can take a flathead and pop the lens off. I recommend doing a YouTube video search so you don't break anything. If you're referring to that tiny little light that shines down towards the center console, I believe that's LED, but not 100% sure and would require pulling that overhead until out and soldering on a new LED.

It's the light that sits right in front of the rear window control. It shines on cup holders.

I think that's LED regardless. Someone may know better. But I can't see anyway getting to it without pulling the overhead unit out regardless.

Was the bulb an easy pop and swap or did it look like soldering would be required? I need to change that one to red as well.

No it's wired to a source some where. Removing the trip was easy once I watched a video lol

Thanks, chances are I will just use the gel paper. That light is not very bright anyway and is just about useless, but is the only one I have left that has not been swapped to red.

Any of you know where to find a 578R led? It's the dome light. I can't find anything other than WHITE in any stores around phoenix.

The entire time I read this I was like why do you wanna go through all that just to change the light color. Seemed dumb. Then I saw the pics and was like



Looks good man
Yeah. I should have my dome light in from eBay this week. I also installed this today. I need to get the uram adapter so I can use my center console usb f2bf1ff761037d9a13b458c38962fd3e.jpg
