check fuses, look in your manual for the locations of the map light related fuses

if its not a fuse, check for all bolts in their proper locations in the fixture (the maplights actually ground through a bolt) that the plug is fully and properly seated

other than that im not sure

So you got tired of the red for the map lights too? White is better if you have red lights under the dash.

i highly recommend superbrightleds.com i have ordered twice from them and i plan on ordering more. i have 3 9led 3022 blue dome lights and 2 5led white194? maybe? for the license plate. i has hoping on a full white but these give of just the slightest tint of a blueish purple. all in all superbrightleds.com is a great company and they come to your door in like 1 to 2 days!

Can anyone tell me how to get the trunk light cover off? I was preying on them earlier, but they would come off, I was afraid of putting too much force and breaking the little thing. Can someone tell the the proper way to get it off?

I just did this mod last night and It looks fantastic
The stock buggers get pretty damn hot.

The maps, dome and license plate are done. Now I just need the trunk, hood, and glove box lights?

Superbrightleds.com is the best I have yet to have a single problem with them, I have had a couple of returns on the leds but they were awesome and got some new ones back to me within the week, whats great is that they have a year (if I remember right) warranty on the leds
