LED bulb replacement

Just finished replacing all my interior lights with LED lights. Brightens up the car much more at night and they look much better than the stock yellowish lights. The pictures don't do justice.

It was really easy to do. I ordered some LEDs from Superbrightleds.com.

The hatch light and rear-view mirror lights are festoon base bulbs (You need 3).

Basically, you remove the clear plastic from the rear-view mirror and insert the LED festoon bulbs. The hatch light plastic pops off in order to replace that light.

Just FYI, some rear cargo lights use RIGID loop designs. I found out the hard way on my rear cargo light. It said a (921) on sylvania site, but I found out it was a rigid loop. Ordered correct part from www autolumination.com
