Replacing Map Lights with LEDs
Re: Replacing Map Lights with LEDs
Perhaps we could add to this sticky with bulb number replacements for all interior lighting (along with the map lights, I'm assuming there are footwell lighting, perhaps lighting on the inside of the doors, etc) as well as for the license plate lighting. I'd like to get a shopping list ready for my new (to me) Xfire coming in the next few weeks!

Just an observation.

Re: Replacing Map Lights with LEDs
Was getting the plastic cover or housing off easy? I have one map/reading bulb that is out and I have not taken it off before. Don't want to screw it up because wife will not be happy.
