DIY LED interior + license plate conversion
For the dome light on the car, it's very simple, you have 2 notches on
the plastic cover where you would insert a flat head screw driver and
lightly pry out the cover. It'll pop off and you will see the DE3175
bulb exposed. Be careful as the bulb might be a little warm to handle,
so let it cool down for about 5 minutes. After it has cooled down,
remove the bulb from the housing assembly and set it aside. Take the new
LED bulb and insert it into the housing, if it does not light up the
first time, remove it and turn it 180* and re-insert. The LED bulbs have
a POS and NEG end, unlike the factory incandescent bulbs.
Package 1 dome light (similar brightness to OEM, bright white color)
Package 2 dome light (3x brighter than OEM)
All done
The trunk light is very simple, you just pop open the trunk and you'll
see a small white cover. Remove that and place aside (or you can leave
it off, for a brighter glow). Remove the wedge bulb and insert the new
one.
For the license plate light, you'll access them from the inside of the
trunk lid. You'll see the 2 light sockets on the inside, just twist and
remove these lights, pull the wedge light and replace them with the new
ones. Again, if they do not turn on the first time, remove them, flip it
180*, and re-insert.
For the reverse lights, you might want to do these last. Since you'll
access the light sockets from underneath the bumper, it is very close to
the muffler and you don't want to touch that when it's hot. After it
has cooled down, reach from exhaust tip side of the lower valence, and
feel for the light socket. Twist that one and remove the bulb, and
insert the new LED.
*NOTE*
The CREE LED's might not seem that bright compared to the OEM light
because of the way the light bulb is positioned. It points upwards
towards the center of the car, and with LED's being a directional light,
it will rely on reflecting on the inside housing to be bright. During
the day time, it might not seem as bright, but at night time, it is a
very nice bright white.
