JW Motoring does it again.
Well a month or so ago I installed an auto dimming rear view mirror in my car, I wasn't happy at all with the map lights, Well I installed a new set of LED lights into the mirror and I am happy now, The lights made a big improvement on the inside lighting.
Thanks JW Motoring.
If any of you been thinking of this, Do it, You won't regret it.

I don't have a write up, It is very easy to install, All you need is the mirror and the plug for it, I do have a file that will show you how to wire one up. Here is a link to the DIY I used http://www.c5forum.com/diy/electro_mirror.php .

On both mirrors the bulb covers or lenses pop out, the autodimmer has LED "chutes" molded into the lenses as well and there is a left and right side so mark them and remember the orientation when you remove them! The LEDs are on a Board, disconnect the cable going to the board and send that in for the Mod...
The base mirror has festoon 212-2 bulbs behind the lenses, which you can get LED variants of... just becareful in there because it's VERY easy to blow the fuse!
FYI White and Blue are tricky to get all of the LEDs to light up and hence the added exspense as the board has to be modified.

I haven't. All of the leds I tested face the wrong way.
I tapped into mine and installed a strip out of site on the hood panel, but it's not near the full brightness. It never goes off either (my stock light didn't either).
This one is out of my skill level.

$75 and we're good. We recently modded Chris J's from Houston. He loved it (blue). He also did the full interior plug n play bulbs I sell to match up everything.
