Interior LED swap problem
#19
Thinking of retrofitting an under hood light as well. But instead of the OEM assembly, I was thinking about using some surface mount LED's like these from Oznium https <://www.oznium.com/led-bolts-prewired-leds/prewired-surface-mount-led>
That way I can place them where I think they're most useful.
Used Oznium products before and they are high quality, USA and excellent customer support.
The wiring seems to be their already, so it's just a matter of splicing into it.
Wondering what kind of sensor activates it (pin, mercury, ??), and if there's any warranty issues with retrofitting (I'm still under CPO warranty).

Found a parts list : https://store.paramountauto.com/auto...omponents-scat
don't see anything that says "switch" though, I would assume it would a simple contact switch perhaps in the latching mechanism, currently at work so I can't look at my car.

Hi
i was going to change my interior bulbs with LED too. I do have a problem with removing the Dome light. I think there are two metal bracket on front of the Dome that stuck and I can not take it down.
Any suggestions? Is that happened to any one else?
Thanks

there are 4 metal brackets on the dome and they are a pain - I mutilated the hell out of one of mine, so the dome is now only held in place by 3 brackets.
if you have a panel tool, you might try sticking it in up there and see if you can't get them to loosen their death grip

Did your bracket break? I am scared now to brake multiple bracket and nothing remains to the dome any more.
any input?
Thanks

My best suggestion would be to get a good flashlight and look around up in there and see if you can pin point where it is hanging up, not easy I know, but the only real alternative is to force it down, at which point you'll probably need to replace the brackets.
