    Just for you Marcel:friends:


    All I had to use were 2 jewlery/eye glass flat head screwdrivers & one small pair of needle point pliers.

    First thing I did was the 2 front map lights, I used one of the screwdrivers to pull down the plastic light cover and the other on the opposite to get it to break free then took the screwdriver and wedge it into the side and it I pulled it right out. Removing the reflecotr plate was simple pull down and out plus you will not re-use it.

    yeah the stocks look bad compared to the LED
    Do the same for the other side and this is what you get:

    Now lets do the rear map lights that are over the doors on each side:

    Do the same for the other side

    Now lets move to the 2 front foot well areas this is the drivers side right above the gas pedal, simply pull down on the white cover and look inside the housing the bulb can be removed by fingers test it first it could be hot:

    I bet tonight the pedals will look great all lit up in the blue color:

    Now the dreaded Lisc Plate lights, but honestly these were the easiest the covers can be removed without any tools and all you have to do is take the small needle nose pliers, grab the bulb wiggle a little and pull it out quick, it may go flying out but it will not break very simple.

    Remove Cover:

    Take small needle nose pliers, grab bulb and pull to the side quickly you can pinch the bulb pretty hard its thick.

    New bulb in:

    NOTE: 1st attempt on Lisc Plate bulb resulted in no power to the bulb, easy fix remove it and turn it 180 degrees, reinstall and it will work

    Some night shots my camera does not pick up light well at night but you get the idea:

    Nice write up Wade. Definitely a worthwhile mod. I installed all of Stanko's lights in his Jeep and he loves the difference.
