Interior Lighting
«

I've always hated that yellow/orange interior light inside cars.
Does anybody have the DIY guide on replacing the interior lights?
I want to change them to white or blue-ish white.
(Not the LED on the dashboard)
Also, what bulbs do I need to use?
I have a 2009 xB

Do you mean the interior dome light and front reading lights?
If so, I'm curious as well.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about.
The dome light!
Couldn't remember the term when I posted.
HELP!

You can get replacement LED bulbs based on the the bulb sizes here:

Where to get 'em? There's a bunch of places but I usually go here:

So . . .
That would be these three:
Interior light - 28mm - 8W - Double end (Festoon) bulbs (30mm can fit)
Personal light - 194 - 8W - Wedge base bulbs
Luggage compartment light - 28mm - 5W - Double end (Festoon) bulbs (30mm can fit)
(Taken from Eric's link, for the inherently too lazy to hit the link to another forum thread)
Interior light: dome light
Personal light: ones that point to individuals
Luggage compartment light: the one on the driver side near the rear hatch

Oznium has some crazy big/bright replacements for the dome lights, but I've only seen pics and I can't tell how much brighter they are than the ones I got...

I got my 16 LED dome light from oznium. Had some problems as explained in another thread. They sent me a replacement without any questions. There shipping was fast and there customer service is AWESOME. Well worth the money. I don't regret for one second spending the money on the dome light. And now that I got my replacement and it is in I will take some pics and post them so you can see what it looks like.
Here is the other thread I was referring to in the beginning of this reply.

The pictures will be coming soon. I have been having some issues with the UV Blacklight LED. So I might just need to change the direction of the lighting in my car. Sorry for the delay in the pictures, they will be coming shortly once I get this all done.
