Interior Light Modification Complete on 2004 CE
Over the weekend I did a very minor, and cheap, interior light modification. I own a 2004 CE and swapped out the foot well and trunk light bulbs and replaced them with BLUE LED lights. The look at night is especially nice. The blue glow from inside goes nicely with the exterior color. I will take some pictures and post them asap.

Changing out the bulbs took no more than 5 minutes. I used a small screwdriver to pry down the light cap. Replaced bulb and snapped back in. I hope to have the pictures on tomorrow. Never posted pics, therefore I am not sure how to do it.

There seems to be some confusion regarding what these light sources atually are. Golddog did not mention the bulb/part number, but RockinC5 said they were 194. He also mentioned theywere were incandescent and not LEDs. So what did Golddog actually use: LEDs or incandescent 194s?

Ok here we go. I purchased the LED's at www.superbrightleds.com. The link to the actual purchase page is as follows:
http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...gi?product=CAR
The bulbs I used are WLED-B Blue Led Bulb ($1.49). This is a single LED. I tried using the multiple LED but the light did not disperse as nice as the single.
Also, they provide a nice blue glow and are not waaayyy to bright.
Took pictures last and will attempt to post later tonight.
Hope this helped.

I put the bulbs in the trunk area (2 lights) and both footwells. You just pull out the old bulb, push in the new and snap or push back in. Done.
