Default blue LEDs

Hey it looks great. I had a question about what you did because I want to do it myself. Where did you buy the LED lights and how much were they? Do all the lights take the same type of LED?

I was hoping this way would be cheaper (and nicer looking) than the manufacturer's lights for $250

If it is really obvious in the picture, I am sorry, but I am typing this while outside on my laptop and the screen isnt as bright as it would be if I were inside.

I ordered the same bulbs that skiboarder72 ordered, except I got the UV light for the cubby hole light. I was surprised at how easy they all were to install. The dome lights just required a slight wiggle and a pull, the festoon bulb popped out and popped back in and the cubby hole light was easy to reach behind the console, pull it out and just switch it.

Will post pics later if the rain stops and when it gets dark.

A nice, cheap and simple 20 dollar interior lighting mods.

reach behind the console. Pull the carpeting down from the side of the console (pull out that flat tab that holds it in place). Once you pull that carpetting down, just reach behind there and feel around for the wire leading to the cubby hole. Pull the wire out and voila. I simply pulled the old bulb out and replaced it with my UV one and put them all back.
