Under hood lamps

[-=Jeff=-]

Footwells will pop out, but be sure you know which end pops out. Door trim are also good to swap.. here is what I swapped with the cool White LED on my interior

-Footwells
-Door Lamps ( except the small light orange lights on with parking lights)
-Rear view mirror ( except the small orange down light on with parking lights)
-Cargo Hatch

Without using any tools as such, l tried to pop the footwell lens out by just fingernails, but it didn’t seem to move. Didn’t want to break it so left it until l asked the question on here. Is there a particular side of the lens that pops out first. 27year old plastic makes me nervous when told to “ just pry out with screwdriver “ especially if there is a particular side that has to come out first.
Any advise appreciated 🇦🇺

Well I would leave it alone if everything still works!

Hey Mate! You need to pull the whole panel the lenses are not meant to be pryed off. Once the panels are down the bulbs go in from behind

Yes, less chance of breaking things too

Hey Jeff
I dropped the panel on the pass. side to gain access to the globe. It’s like a festoon but without the metal caps, instead the glass is pinched and a wire loop out either end. Did you find an LED version of that or did you modify a capped LED festoon. I can’t find that type of globe in LED?

They make that type of LED but I have only seen them in the complete LED conversion kits. However it's the same style in the console as well. Try super brightleds.com what you are looking for is little circuit board with 3 or 4 SMDs with wire loop ends. GC

Anyone want to share the exact bulb used for the under-hood LED lights and a source if possible?
Many thanks!

Good to know the console globe is the same, as I reinstalled the footwell panel without measuring the length of the globe. Thought I might just buy another pair of festoon LEDs, same as under hood @ $7.00 pair and solder on the wire loops either end. Easier and probably cheaper
So far, changed to LED, and love the result
