Map Light LED Replacement
#32
Got this resolved. I went ahead and used a welding knife to cut it off. I was able to replace the LED with a soldering heat gun. I did the same with the footwell lights, replaced the LED. now all my interior lights are white. Thanks!

Any other tips you care to share for this or the footwell lights?
Thanks!

i use a soldering heat gun to take off the leds on the boards. I did this for both the footwell and map light. I had to play with the footwell leds cause i got to figure out which leads were correct for the board to led pad. (Basically it was flipped around and test) foot well was easier to access the board. It was hard to get the stock led off. Patience and apply pressure to led while heating the led.

YES, it will seat properly afterwards.

You want to make sure that the solder/lead is not making contact with both ends of the led. Try flipping the led around and see if it works...
