Default LED Interior design lights

Objective: Replace interior bright lights with some kicking Blue LED but leaving the reading lights operational.

Location: 4 round Ceiling push in plugs right above the seats.

Setup: Remove plugs with a twisting motion. Cut out the little tab, not the pin, that supports the plastic pin upright that plugs into ceiling. Cut one side only along the grooved side of the pin. Once the tabs is cut, drill a hole perpendicular along side of the pin grove into the round face of the ceiling plug. Run you’re LED through the hole and super glue it on the pin side.
Remove the overhead light, and from the plug hole, run a heavy wire to the over head light. Tape the LED wire to the heavy gage wire and pull the wires through and to the overhead light by pulling the heavy gauge from the overhead light opening, I used a strand of barb wire. Remove the middle light and connect the LED wires to the overhead light wires. Under the console remove the bottom lights by the feet area and replace with LED's by drilling a small hole on the original light holding bracket. LED's rock!!

What do you mean no map light? You should have a light for the driver one for the passenger and the middle light that comes on automatically.

I have got my LEDs from www.iJDMTOY.com, they carry LED replacement bulbs for H3.

I got a pair T15 LED bulbs for the step courtesy lights, 2 pairs D42mm LED bulbs for the front map and center dome lights.

Pretty good deal, I asked the seller to combine the order for me....can't wait to get them in Mail.
