My front passenger headlight bulb died on me the day before it was returned to hibernation. Of all the bulbs it had to be that one. I finally replaced the licence plate lights with the LED units. The ones I got did not snap in easily so I thought that they would be hard to get out in the future. So I filed notches in the ends that grab the edges of the metal, they just snap in snugly now and I can pull the out with my fingers.
I should have shown the setup before I installed them, no scratched paint when removing them for me.
The licence plate now looks like a theatre sign on Broadway. They do not light the dash light.
I have six on the car now, one in each of the footwells, one each side in the trunk and now two for the licence plate.
The ones in the trunk snap into the existing trunk light hole, The OEM original light in the trunk has no reflector at the rear of the body, so most of the light illuminates the are behind the trunk liner. The new lights in the trunk make it look like Showtime. I just added a matching hole on the passenger side.
The map lights are LED as well, the light comes out the end, not the side.
