I'll cut a hole (gasp) in the 01+ headliner and insert it to the back side of the hump that the 2nd row seat light is mounted to. I planned on doing that when I installed the headliner, I just couldn't bring myself to chop a hole in the perfect headliner. lol.. I didn't take any pictures of this one before I swapped (Forgot actually) so, forgive me… the LED is at least 2x brighter. It was just a cheapy I got at Advance, I'll replace this one later with the same ones I put in the overhead console, as those are 4x brighter, easily)

OEM output on the front seats…


LED's


No lights… Can't see inside very well. Those front windows are 5% tint..


Christmas tree, you can actually see how dim it's in the third row… I'll address that in the spring.




I had the exposure set a little low on this one, made them look incredibly blue…






Yeah I know I still only have one doorpanel covered in R/T suede… Shhhh lol Those floor courtesy lights are next…

WhiteWidow00,
I saw that post but couldn't find those at AA online.
Guess I'll have to take a trip to the local AA to find them.
Thanks

Yeah they're not an online thing because every stores stock is a little different store by store when it comes to little stuff like that.

Also check out CarID. They're a good site to get stuff like this. Very reputable site too and it's direct replacement bulbs to make it easiest. Check them out and hope this helped...

When you hit 60 (not MPH) everything fades!

sorry to bring up a older thread but im looking for a similar answer, im swapping out my front two dome light bulbs and the second dome light bulb because basically... these bulbs produce as much light as if they wernt there...

Im about to head to shucks so im hoping i can get a quick answer, what are just about the lightest bulbs i can pick up at shucks? I dont want to spend 10 bucks a piece but I want decently bright ones, btw im probaly going to go for a slight blue tint to the bulb, thanks.

I'd go with Logik's approach to improving visility.
