Hello everyone,


I just bought my first Jeep and this is my first post. I have done a lot of research but have not found anyone with an answer or who has successfully finished the project. I have replace all of my interior lights to LED's but the problem I am having is that the 2 map lights inside of the rear view mirror are an orange color. I am trying to replace the 2 tiny LED's with a bright white color. I will not take no for an answer, I have seen several people who say to just unplug them and leave them not working. I refuse to let that be my solution.


What I have done so far is purchased the Yorkim LED interior bulbs from Amazon and stripped the LED's off of a spare one.


Amazon.com: 194 LED Light bulb, Yorkim® 2015 Newest, 5th Generation, Interior Lights for W5W 194 168 2825 T10 Wedge 5-smd 5050, Replacement and Reverse T10 White Bulbs, Used For Signal Lights, Trunk Lights, Dashboard Lights, Parking Lights, With Grea


I un-soldered the 2 tiny LED's off of the circuit board to the rear view mirror.



After they were removed I re-soldered the LED's that were removed from the Yorkim bulbs. I have attached a video of what is happening after I attached the board and I attempt to use the lights or open the door.

I am pretty sure it is because the 2 LED's are being under powered, unless all of the power is going to just one of them and that is why one works perfect and the other does not. I would really appreciate any input or ideas of where I can track down the schematics of the board itself. I will be doing some searching and trying other things in the mean time.

Northridge 4X4 sells replacement LED bulbs. I have had them in my last two JK's and I am getting ready to order them for my 2015.

I don't know what year this started but I believe your previous Jeeps had bulbs that could easily be replaced. My problem, and I am sure you will notice this also with your 2015, is that when you replace the interior lights (2-Dome lights, 1-Cargo lights) you will notice that the map lights inside the rear view mirror cannot be replaced with a bulb. As I mentioned before they are 2 tiny LED’s already and this is what I am trying to change out.

This weekend I received the LED bulbs that I ordered for this project. I was able to successfully replace the map lights with new 6000k LED bulbs by re-soldering them onto the board. If anyone would like to do this project I can walk them through how I did it.

Really nice work!!!

Great job. I am very interested. What was the solution to half power? What exact LEDs did you end up using? Thanks!

Hello,

I believe the reason they were only being half powered was because the bulbs that I was using required too much power than was being provided to them. I will add the link to the exact LED bulb that I used. These match the rest of the interior LEDs that I used, perfectly. If you have any other questions or need any help just let me know.

Nice work. Thank you for the follow up.

Oznium sells single leds that all you have to do is solder them in. I did this on my map lights and the footwell lights. Just make sure the polarity is correct.

Thank you so much, I am going to have to try this
