JKU map light replacement with brighter LED
 
I recently picked up a '13 JKU and started replacing all of the interior bulbs with high power LED's (6000k color). This is something I do with all of my vehicles, call it OCD if you will.

My question for you guys is has anybody successfully removed the tungsten colored bulbs located in the rear view mirror and replace them with different ones? I think I read somewhere else that they are soldered into the mirror but I haven't gotten a solid confirmation on that yet.

Thanks.

When u get them there will be 3 tabs on the side if it and there will be 3 slots on ur fog lights housings. These tabs won't all fit. Just get a pair of wire cutters and trip the plastic tabs off. U only need to trim 2 of the 3..pm me if u have any problems. I'll explain it better. Takes 2 sec to mod light bulb

The rear view mirror lights are soldered in. I replaced the other interior lights with LED's and the rearview lights wouldn't turn off. I checked around and it looks like it's a common problem, so I just opened the door on the bottom of the mirror and unplugged the lights then put the door back on. I imagine that you could find small enough LED's and solder them in, but for now all you can do is either live with the yellow light or disconnect them.

I was looking at the replacement fog lights with your link but it says they aren't compatible with my 13 Sahara. Has anyone put them in a 13?

I have ones very similar to them in my 13 and they fit fine. I had to trim a couple of the tabs on the connector, but otherwise plugged in and works fine.
