Courtesy light LED?

kiddspl · 10-23-2007, 12:28 PM

I have swaped out all my intereior lights for some hyper white bulbs, so far so good but when I took out the courtesy light the 44mm (i think) tube will not fit in there, I mean it fits but since it doesnt have the wires on the ends of the bulb it will not stay in. Im sure several others have done this mod, what do you suggest to get the bulbs to stay in there? Anyone done anything with some success? Thanks in advance.

These are the ones you need to hook in to the connectors

I assume you mean the lights under the door right? The above poster is correct. You need a 44mm "rigid loop" festoon LED.

But even those wont fit in the doors perfectly most of the time. The loops on the end of the LEDS arent big enough to fit over the connectors inside the door light harness. You will be able to get one side on, but not the other. I ended up using a very short pice of 16ga wire and sort of created a bigger loop on one end of the LED. Very easy. Worked like a charm.
