I have green LEDs in my interior. Makes everybody look like the Hulk. Very funny after a few drinks! ChiTown-are you talking about the rear license plate lights? If so, it shows you how to change them in the tC Manual. (p. 232) You gotta use a little force and pop them out.

Question, for Surface mount LEDS, does the polarity matter? I don't see positive or negative outputs on the actual leds.

YES they do...there will be a small notch at one of the corners of each LED.....before you remove the stock one MAKE sure you see where the notch is at and when you put the new LED in place the notch needs to match....otherwise it will not light up.......I had this happen towards the end of my process (because i forgot to look) and it will only mess up the LED that is not placed right.....i had to desolder and resolder the one and then it worked....

He's exactly right. I did the same thing to mine the first time around. I got all mad because i thought that i was sold bunk LED's, turns out it was me who didn't install them right.

some pics of the interior lights I got , finially got around to installing them , Definitly like them alot . Sorry about the image quality still workin on figuring out my cam (so many damn settings on it ROFL) The cam didnt capture the intensity of the Red LEDS very well , But they are RED as red as red can get LOL . The white leds pretty much match . All I can think of is the white light people use for their driveways and big parking lots (vapor lights?)

DOME LIGHTS ONLY ON


Cubby Hole Led only (no dome lights on )


Map lights only on (dome lights off)
