LED Dome Light
Well, after almost ten years (I'm guessing) my dome light finally decided to give up the ghost. With tinted windows, and living out in the middle of nowhere, it's VERY dark inside the VX at night so I needed a replacement. I was wandering through a, not so local, AutoZone and came across this:
Sorry, this is the package after the install, but the light is a flat waffer with 12 LED's on it. The kit comes with adapters to fit any dome light; you chose the one that fits your car, plug the waffer into the adapter then install the adapter in your dome light. The waffer has some double sided tape on it to stick it to the dome light housing. Luckily the waffer snuggled right into the dome light assembly on top of the adapter (I can take picture of this in case anyone is interested).
It's only been in for a couple of days so far, but I'm happy with it. It's a pure white light and isn't too bright, and as a matter of fact may be dimmer than a typical filament bulb. After you close the door the light does one step down in brightness before going off, but doesn't fade out like a typical bulb does.
These picture don't really do it justice.
I'm eventually looking to go all LED so this is the first step. It's a decent, inexpensive and super easy "mod".
