Default Need Help Installing LED lights from iJDMTOY

I bought the group buy of LED lights for my 08 is250.

But there are no instructions to install it. Can anyone help?

I got the vanity lights installed without a problem but I cant figure out how the map light and the rear dome lights hook up.

Thanks

Yea I was just watching that. The only thing funky is the idjm lights are LED boards for the front map and rear dome.

So the rear dome lights they have an adapter that connects to the bread board LED lights and only uses one of the sockets.

Now I need to figure out how to take apart the front map lights since I do not think the plastic covering the lights pulls out like the other lights

Open the sun glass holder, there should be a cover holding two phillips screws. Remove the plastic covering the screws, remove the screws. After doing that, use a interior trim removal tool (or hard plastic spatula) and pop down the clips.

So I got the cover off but there is no way to connect the LED to the power supply.

The current bulbs twist on.

Hopefully someone can help me with this since that light is still hanging and I hope I can get it installed tonight

You can get these at like Autozone or O'Reilly's, any auto parts place. You may be able to get it a Lowe's or Home Depot as well though.

Thanks for the info Thura. Is it called something particular? Or just interior removal tool?

Thanks

I think the correct term is "Interior Trim Removal Tool". Should be in the specialty tool area. It makes for an excellent back scratcher in the garage as well.

I just installed the LED's last night from iJDMTOY, what a difference. Picture quality is poor since I took them with my phone.
