I've been wanting to do this for a while (as well as swapping all the cluster LED's for blue) however, the lack of interest in spending $100+ on LED's turned me away, so I'm doing it in steps.
I started with the rear overhead light and next spring will likely end up putting a 3rd row light in since it's pretty dark in the third row. I'll cut a hole (gasp) in the headliner and insert it on the back side of the hump the 2nd row seat light is mounted to. I planned on doing this when I installed the headliner, I just couldn't bring myself to chop a hole in the perfect headliner yet. :lol: I didn't take any pictures of this one before I swapped it (forgot actually) so forgive me. The LED is at least 2x brighter and was just a cheapy I got at Advance Auto. I'll replace it later with the same ones I put in the overhead console as those are easily 4x brighter.

Compared to the OEM lighting in the overhead console?

OEM output on the front seats?

All I need to do now's replace the courtesy lights under the dash with something LED. Not really sure what yet as I believe those are 168's. Before anyone asks about the rear hatch light, I won't be replacing that one since I keep it disconnected anyway. My audio system fits perfectly unnoticed behind the 3rd row seat when up, but that blasted light on the hatch would light it up like a Christmas tree at night so I keep it disconnected. I've always believed that if they can't see it, they won't try and steal it.
I also want to change the vanity mirror lights (#74's I think) with LED's and install a 194 LED in the glove box.
