Dome lightbulb replacement: thread?

A while back someone posted a thread on how-to change
the domelight bulb to a larger size for more light.
I have searched and cannot find the thread.
Any ideas?

just pry the lil prongs that hold the bulb in. that or get the led bulbs from www.autolumination.com . we use the 31mm bulb . this site has bulbs of all sizes. so if u want u can bump it up a lil bit

What about the current draw for a different bulb? I'd hate to set my xB on fire just to get more light...

it wont. it wont draw more current. there is only so much there. all it could do (which will be very minimal) will light up slightly less but with more leds it's still more light.

I see how that would work when swapping out for leds. I will have to order a replacement soon.

Thanks!

nah the regular forward faving leds blow ****. i can send u mine for the price of shipping if you want. they dont reflect off the back. they work fine for nighttime use but blow for daytime.the cyrstalized lights kill the effectiveness of led
