Default Map Light Color!!!

Ever want to change your map lights from the ugly white color for something with a little more style, well I changed mine to high intensity blue, they look real cool at night or anytime IMHO, that have different colors too, here is a photo not my car but looks the same at night ( I have the blue ) or the red is cool too!! eautoworks.com

Get the wedge type LEDs in what ever your color you like for the 05-09's, I took a very small flat blade screwdriver to carefully pop the lens off, then I needed some small pliers or fingers, my fingers are to big to get the old ones out ( FYI: remember the old ones get hot real fast so watch out ) be careful not to break them while trying to remove them , I didnt have any trouble, they came out real easy, used my fingers to install the new LED ones, snaped the lens caps back in place and then you have awesome blue lighting.

I had a set of similar led's in red off Ebay. The install was cake, but trying to read anything in the light was nearly impossible. Whenever I needed to find something i had to use the light of my cell phone. lol.

Oh and nice little sales pitch you got going on!
