I'm stuck on removal of the domes and rear hatch as well. All the rest are done except the readers.

 

Check your inbox i just sent you a reply and here it is for everyone else who may be wondering....

Hey bud, sorry ive been out of town on vacation. it is pretty simple the ones up at the front for the driver and passenger lights overhead you use a trim removal tool or something that is thin and strong and wont scratch the interior. then you look for the plus on the plastic part of the light, you then slide the tool between the clear plastic and the bezel, its really tight and dont force it, it has a hook tab on it so once you spread it far enough it should come down on the plus side. Now the tricky part is getting the sqaured off side of the light out. Now use extreme caution when doing this because there is no way to do this without chance of breaking the clear plastic piece. grab the one side with the plus and keep it level, then you have to work with some force but not really strong wiggle back and forth while not pulling down just side to side and out and the tabs should come loose popping out the entire clear plastic piece. install is reverse. the rear hatch is a major pain in the *** to do, the entire black plastic piece on the hatch has to come off and when you pull it off the wires are attached so dont just rip it off and if you have and extra set of hands to hold the piece thats even better. trick to getting that piece off is ugly, you just have to get leverage to pop the push pins that are plastic out. once you get one pop out then the next just working along the edge, then there are two that are dead center. If someone has a better way of doing this i would love to know cause i tried popping just the clear piece off and i did but then the light housing went inside the panel forcing me to take it off, and i broke two of the plastic push lockers and bent a couple, but still make the work just being gentle with it putting it back on, make sure all of the pins are lined up with the respective hole cause i guarantee it will break some. even the dealership when they had to take it off left me with a rattly pin broken inside til they fixed it.

 

also ill try and take a video of me removing and installing so that its a little easier to understand. but that wont happen til i get home tonight.

 

Whooo... that sounds like a little more than I want to bite off. I already have my fog bulbs in and I will change the license plate bulbs to LED but I can see me breaking half of the domes trying to get them out and the rear hatch bulbs... no way. I hate that too because it is a cheap mode that really looks nice. It won't be cheap if I have to replace a lot of broken parts though.

A video would be nice..

 

Thanks, the front domes aren't bad and with a thin needs nose pliers I can get the bulbs out with just popping out only one tab. How do the rear passenger and third row dome light come out? I know the small readers are not coming out.

 

Can someone list the bulbs for these again thanks

front domes 194 front foot ones are 921's rear hatch look like 194's but chart calls for212-2.

 

Foot lights under dash?
Thanks Mike

 

Not to wake up a dead thread, but figured I'd add in what I used...

I had the cool white LED's in my GTI and the wife didn't want that in her D. So I found warmer color temps for her LED's... For the domes I got these:

For the rear hatch and foot wells (as they are bigger housings), I got these:

And for the vanity lights (on the sides of the mirror in the visor), I got these:
(although they sent me the cool white ones, so I'm still trying to get the right ones in, but the size is correct).

Easy peasy!! Still need to order the fog/rear LEDs. I will say this, however, the glove box light is *NOT* a 194 at least on my 13 R/T. It's much smaller than that so I wasn't able to replace it. (pic to come soon)

I'll take a pic this evening, but it's a closer match in color to the map lights, so I may not have to change those out.

 

Here are the pics...

This doesn't show as well as I thought it would, but here's the difference between the map lights and the leds:


And here's a pic of the glove box light, with it's bulb next to a normal 194 bulb from the overhead console


As a final note, I'm glad I changed the lights out to leds... Both the hatch lights as well as the licenseplate lights had already started to melt the socket they were in and I had to work to get them out. I've only had the truck for 3 weeks and this is already an issue?? Wow! poor design decision, I guess...
