Default Quick question about interior lights

I'm working on a high power LED solution for the interior foot-well and Cargo lights. I need to know the dimensions of the plastic lens piece on these lights.

Thank you.

Duhhh. I cant remember the vendor name, but I replaced quite a few lights on my 08 with leds. The cargo compartment lights, the foot well lights, the map lights in the rear view mirror. Never had to replace the lenses. The rear view mirror has quite a few electronic parts in it and with the incandescent lights, it gets quite hot. The leds make the mirror assembly run a lot cooler. Also, replaced the back up lights and, I think, all, the side marker lights.

Mirror lights are a snap if you use a small zip tie. Just Zip it and place one around each bulb, zip it up snug as close to the base of the bulb as you can get it, give it a slight tug. Bulb out. Pop in the LED and you're done.

They must have taken at least 30 seconds each. Bear...I think not.

the version I'm working on is a plug-and-play version that's several times brighter using COB LED technology.
