D.I.Y. - Led Interior & Plate Light Conversion - By Richard DeFries

D.I.Y. - Led Interior & Plate Light Conversion

1. Gather Your Tools / Parts - 5 x 921 LED Bulbs - 1 x 6411 Fuse Style LED Bulb - Small Flat Head Screw Driver - C Ring Pliers

2. Use Your Fingers To Pry The Plastic Bezel (Ref Pic 1) Free From Around The Clear Lens


3. Once The Bezel Is Loose (Ref Pic 2) Middle Of The Picture You Will See A Raised Section With A Hole In It There Is A Christmas Tree Retainer Clip That Needs To Be Removed (Ref Pic 3) Once That Is Removed The Bezel Will Be Free To Remove



4. Use A Small Flat Head To Gently Pry Around The Edges On The Clear Lens There Will Be 8 Tabs To Free And The 2 Tabs Facing The Back Of The Car Are Longer So Be Careful (Ref Pic 4)


5. Once Removed I Would Suggest Having Someone With Really Small Fingers To Remove The Bulb (Be Careful They Can Be REALLY HOT) Or Use A Set Of C Ring Pliers With The Bent Tips To Pull The Bulbs Then Install 2 x 921 LED Bulbs Then Reverse The Process And Put It Back Together.

6. The Back Dome Light (Ref Pic 5) Just Gently Pry With Your Fingers And This Will Pop Off The Lens Cover Install Your 6411 Fuse Style LED Bulb You May Have To Make Minor Adjustments To The Positive And Negative To Make The Bulb Fit Tight Then Reinstall Your Back Dome Light Lens


7. For The Trunk Area You Will Need Your Flat Head Screw Driver To Push In The Side Of The Lens And Pry Out Gently Once The Cover Is Removed Pull The Entire Fixture Off The Harness This One Is Tricky And This Way Will Keep You From Blowing A Fuse. Once Removed Use Your Flat Head Screw Driver To Pop Out The Old Bulb And Replace With Your New 921 LED Bulb Check If You Have Polarities Right Before Reinstalling

8. Plate Lights Again Use Your Small Flat Head Screw Drive On The Side Of The Lens To Gently Pry The Fixture Free Once Free Twist The Free From The Lens And Install Your New 921 LED Bulb And Reinstall

9. One Last Check For Proper Polarities If You Have A Bulb That Isn't Working Pull It Out And Spin It And Reinstall. If Everything Is Lit Up Enjoy Your New Fresher Cleaner Brighter LEDs! 
 - Sit Back And Enjoy Your Hard Work!
