Super Bright LED Dome Light Install
If anyone is interested in converting there dome light to LEDs here are some pictures of my install.
First off the LED panel i got has 21 LEDs i found others online but didn't like the quality or they had fewer LEDs.
Downside was the one i got was for Honda's...go figure
My friend got one for his car for Christmas and i liked it and tired it on my Evo but the plate needed some trimming.
So i ordered the RSX kit (site was having a sale, LINK BELOW) and trimmed up the plate to fit the Dome Light housing and i I'm loving the lighting.
Pix:
Easy Steps:
1. Pop off dome cover with flat head or something similar
2. get your new LED and test fit it.
3. sharpie areas that need trimming (DO NOT CUT THE CIRCUIT PATHS WHEN TRIMMING)
4. re-test fit
5. make final markings/trimming. (I USED DYKE's TO MAKE TRIMMINGS))
6. put LED back inside Dome light housing and place back plastic dome light cover.
...7. FOOTBALL STADIUM LIGHTING IN YOUR CAR!

link added to post.
and the install was very easy and straight forward. I just place it inside the dome light housing and trimmed the board as needed. Just make sure not to trim/touch the circuits. (i had adequate room to make the necessary trimming)

That looks nice!!!!! So does it come rectangle size then, trimme it to what ever shape you want, but how about if you need two pieces to put into the front dome

if you look at my pictures i just had to trim up the tips a little bit. i ended up doing a few more here and there but didn't take pix. aslong as you stay clear of the actual circuits your good.
and as for the MAP lights i haven't modded them yet just the DOME light.
