  How do I change my interior lights?


I don't like the yellow interior lights. What would be a lot more comfortable are white LEDs. How do I go about making this change, where can I buy the parts, and how much would it cost?

You can get a listing of the bulbs from sylvania.com and can surf ebay for some LED bulbs to fit. While I have not looked, I'm sure the owners manual has information on replacing the bulbs if they are the standard courtesy lights.

I think this post attached already covered most interior, license plate, and front running light bulbs type

In terms of "Where to get them", ebay is my pick but I believe there are so many local shops or websites that sells them.

And in terms of "How to change them" the owner's manual covered them already.

I did all my interior lights (except "Makeup Mirror") and license plate with white LEDs. I meant to take some pics and post them here but didn't have a chance to get to it.

I also swapped out all the interior lights with LEDS according to the posts on this site. The ones that look the best are the cargo area lights, i believe they have the multi LEDS on them(6?). really lights it up bright back there. I actually think the replacement of the front seat ceiling bulbs creates a bit too much light, actually a bit irritating to your eyes as you are seated pretty close to them. I like the white, but maybe it needs a weaker bulb so as not to be blinding. I also swapped the front footwell lights with blue LEDS which creates a nice soothing effect at your feet. Looks cool. I also changed the parking lights(inner headlights) with LEDS, much nicer. Next change would be the foglights as they are the only ones left that are yellowish.

I would advise not to use the sylvania site as a reference guide for replacing your bulbs. The bulbs they state for replacement are not entirely accurate. Here is a list of what you need.

In short:
DOOR/MAPS/DOMES/PARKING LIGHTS/LICENSE PLATE = T10/194 bulbs
FOOT WELL = T5/74 bulbs
TRUNK= DE3175 (31mm) bulbs
Vanity= 29 mm vanity lights

Doors/maps/domes/trunk Installation was easy, just gently inserting a flathead screwdriver that was covered by a thin cloth into the light covers and popping them off.

Tricker to do:
