I just got the LED Interior Light Set (not talking about the footwell or map light sets, even tho i got those too :-P) but they didn't come with any instructions...

Anyone done this installation already and know how to disassemble the door light pod off and where this third fuse looking LED bulb set goes?

 

The door cover pops off with a flat screwdriver. be careful, without the cover the bulb holder can easily be pushed in to the door cavity.

the fuse looking LED is the dome light

 

Check this thread so you know how to properly change the maplight.

so i was trying to install the interior leds and the bulb holder got pushed into the door cavity anyone have any ideas how to get it back into place? on the same note, how do you take out those bulbs anyways? theyre so hard to pull out or get a good grip on

 

I've had this happen. It'll be a bit tricky but what you need to do is pop out the bottom corner of the door (closest to the bulb) Just give it a tug, should pop out.

Then either with some needle nose pliers, try and grab the wires and pull it back up.

 

thanks jedi. i'll give it a shot right now. so just pull on the bottom corner of the door right?

 

yeah, there shoudl be a plastic tab that just comes out. don't pull too hard, you might start loosening other clips that you don't want loose right now.

 

jedi i'm tugging and tuggin on that black piece closest to the bulb area and no bueno! can you be more specific on what to do....this stupid easy mod is turning out to be a 2 hour job

 

Thanks for all the help guys...it went without a hitch.

I really didn't have any problem pulling the bulbs out...just gotta make sure they haven't been on too long or you'll burn ur fingers...
