Good catch. That pillar cover is so easy to remove too. I thought there was more holding it than just the bolts for the handle.

Default 6k floor lights

I did it, tired of the old yellow so I converted to the 6k white floor lights! But they can be any color you want..

bought 3mm 3volt leds, disassembled the factory lights and soldered the new leds, the leds under the dash are easy the bulbs pop out of clips, no solder needed.

Does anybody have the Part Number for the Socket? On my 2010, the bulb was rusted in the socket.
Thanks,

could always try to hardwire in some rigid industries rock lights, they sell a 4 pack. For OEM part number I'd check out the
part numbers sticky @Acrad @jaaydee

I think I found the P/N. In another thread, it was listed as 90075-60059. That is a straight connector socket. Doing some digging, I found P/N 90075-60005. I think it would be the correct right angle plug. There isn't enough wire for the straight plug.
I didn't see this in the P/N thread, if I am correct, it would be a good idea to add it.

once you confirm the correct part numbers please circle back cause as these vehicle age I'm sure their will be other vehicle with corrosion plugs that stop working, especially in the areas that put winter treatment on the roads...
I put di-electrical grease on the backside of every connector on the undercarriage to try to prevent water intrusion (and corrosion) in thru the backside... I realize the connections are waterproof but when I see wires on the vehicle undercarriage going in the back of a connector, it makes me cringe thinking about 15-20 years from now...

Default Interior lights

Just received this 12pc LED interior light kit, and I'm having a bit of trouble. For one, once I got the cover off of the two push-button front map lights, I couldn't get the bulbs out. I can barely get my fingers on them, and I don't know if I need to twist them (which way?). I'm afraid of squeezing too hard and breaking them. Advice?
Thd kit came with this trim gadget thing to use as a pry, but which end do I pry out on the two sets of rear dome lights? Again, I just don't want to break anything...
Lastly, I count 6 bulbs to replace (2 map lights up front, 2 dome lights in the middle, 2 in the back), plus maybe the 2 vanity lights in the visors (I say "maybe", 'cause I'm not sure those 2 lights need to be as bright as LEDs provide). So where are the other 4 or 6 lights supposed to go?
Thanks for any help/advice!
Tony

Use a piece of packing tape to remove the bulbs. Stick tape to bulb and pull down and it’ll come right out. For the rear and mid dome light, I pried from the rear to remove the covers. You could use the other four for your running board lights or door puddle lights.

Thankss for the tip - I'll give it a try. So the LEDs aren't too bright for the vanity lights?

They are are fine for the Map Lights, it has been suggested the Vanity / Visor Lights would be too bright with LED's

Have you guys noticed it the LEDs are changing colors overtime? Maybe it's just me but it feels like they are shifting towards purplish shade.
