Removing Courtesy (door) Lights

[bedrck46]

i'm assuming they don't offer the dome lights (PC579...in between driver & passenger side) in an LED bulb? i guess one would have to cut & then rewire some LEDs themselves?

those dome lights have two types of lamp holders one you have to wire in and the other type you just insert a lamp like on the door panels You can find the lamp holders on e-bay or find them in some fords or GM's in a junk yard I did them in what you did in green I did in blue I also got some 18 inch led strip lights and mounted under the dash in order to light the floor am planning to do the same for the 2nd row seats

I'll see if I can post a pic to give you an idea.

cool, i'll check on ebay to see if i can find the ones you're talking about. the ones i have in now are the bulb insert that you screw in. i figured i would have to do a small modification to get the LED effect in my Dome light.

if you have the ones that you insert a bulb into and then just re-inset the lamp holder with a slight twist then you can use the same size led bulb that you used in the door panel the base on the 579 is about the same on the 94 bulb

yeah i have the festoons in my rear & sides (rear passenger/driver's side), but my dome are the twist bulbs (PC579s). i will order a set of these & see if the twist in socket work.
