Has anyone tried to change the footwell and doorhandle lights?
The GX 460 has weak yellow footwell lights that do not illuminate well. I spoke to Eli at V-leds and he said that he had never seen the type of bulb that the GX 460 uses for footwell lights. I would like to change the footwell lights to brighter L.E.D. lights. Does anyone know what type of L.E.D. lights we can use to replace the footwell lights? I have included some pictures of the footwell bulb below. Also, has anyone tried to replace the interior door handle bulbs.

A little more involved than expected. With the reply here I went to my garage to play again. If you are looking for a plug and play easy option I can’t help you as this led is odd so I modified. I will work on details this week.

A cheap mod and easy enough to do.
Originally started with a door light from a panel I have off.
Bought some light sockets that I had some LEDs for (interior lights).
Is this a temperature sensor on the passenger side?
Passenger side was easy to fit because I could drop the panel.
Cleared off the plastic housing for the original LED.
Went with a 9/16 hole.

Passenger side
The drivers side is built into the floor vent and I didn't see an easy way to remove it.
To push the socket in from the rear there are 2 open sides so I left a lip on the socket to keep it in place.
9/16 hole again for driver side.
Snug fit.
