hey very easy, get a negative screw driver, or anyhin long nad flat. start from putting it to the left or right of the lens dont matter which one, and snap it down, if you need to go and do opposite side, if it dont work first time, dont worry i was the same, just DO IT!!!!

You can get them from www.superlumination.com Chris is the owner of the site and was very helpful in helping ensure I got the right sizes for all the led upgrade locations, on the 300. This is the list from my order (I ordered all LED's in super bright white color, they are also available in colors and black light). I did not upgrade to the LED turn signals, you will need to buy 4 load equalizers as well for the turn signal LED upgrade.

2006 Chrysler 300C SRT-8

INTERIOR:

1. Dome/Map lights (roof) : #578 = Festoon 9 LED rigid loop. (Size: 44 mm = 1.75") $ 7.99 ea. (2)

2. Step/Courtesy lights (bottom of both front doors): #562 = Festoon 9 LED bulb rigid loop. (Size: 44 mm = 1.75") $ 7.99 ea. (2)

3. Rear Dome/map lights: #194 = 194 5 LED matrix bulb. $ 6.99 ea. (2)

4. Glove box light: #194 = 194 5 LED matrix bulb. $ 6.99 ea. (1)

5. Trunk/ Cargo light: #921 = 921 9 LED Matrix bulb. $ 6.99 ea. (1)

EXTERIOR:

1. Brake Lights #3057 = # 3157 Light Tower (20 wide angle) Brake Light LED's in Red color. $ 19.99 ea.(2) No equalizers required for the Brake Light LED's.


Hope this helps you out in at least getting started. PM me if you have any other questions about the LED upgrade mod.

One quick fix, the LED for the overhead maplights isn't the rigit loop festoon, its just the normal 44mm Festoon!

have any of you changed the bulbs for the license plate? I know that the new IS 250/350 have led bulbs for the license plate

I sent Chris pictures of all of my bulbs, from my SRT. My OEM overhead dome/map light bulb had loops on the end. Albeit, not very large ones, Chris told me to go with the festoon loops. Some members were mentioning a 39mm but Chris said that even though my OEM dome light measured just under 1.75" it was better to go to the 44mm than the 39 mm and it be snug and not move around with bounces, etc. Chris also said when measuring, make sure it is from loop to loop, not end cap to end cap of the OEM's.

Wow, interesting!

My 05C didnt have loops, perhaps they changed for the 06 or SRT?

thanks for the info!

No loops on my 2006 maybe on SRT

anyone able to post some pics of what these look like
guess i'm wondering why you'd go through changing all these out when its just light that isn't really on much unless i'm missing something

thanks
