<<Embarrassed to say, I thought LED's came with the ISF from the factory. I bought my F certified pre-owned – I guess the previous owner took care of the LED conversion for me.

Does anyone have a DIY to remove the mirror covers by chance?

going by memory...

i took mine off by using a long skiny screwdriver and removing the 4 screws in each corner behind the mirror. then the front cover should slide off. i believe the bulb lens can then be disconnected (from the bottom) and the bulb harness can be tilted then popped out (from the front where the cover was). replace the bulb and put everything back backwards. i remember the hardest part was tilting the bulb into and out of its slot and trying to screw in/out at an angle because of the mirror.

Cool but I personally would leave the vanity lights as yellow. Trying to see yourself in led lighting is pretty fail.

Other than that little tidbit, I love it all.

Popping off the actual mirror first, simplifies the process.
But it can be a bit tedious getting it to snap back into place, on the re-install.

This was my 1st time doing it and it took me about 10-15 minutes on each side.
I took my time to avoid breaking or scratching things up..

Great review Joe! I am glad to hear/see that you are happy with the products.

Im sure you've also made it easier for your fellow IS/F board members know what LED bulbs they require to upgrade the lighting on their vehicle to LED.

If anyone has any specific questions about the products please feel free to send me a PM and it would be my pleasure to help you out.

Please view our LED bulb promotional thread for more information!

Enjoy,

Steve

Default Dome lights kit

Hi Joe,
My boards have 8 pod each and they look nothing like your board for the rear dome light (see pix). How did you manage to get them stay and light up? Advices would greatly appreciated.

Where are you trying to put that 8 pod board??

This is what my Rear Dome light looks like... The (2) 4 pod boards lock into place..

Hi,

That is the new design. The 8 LED panel that you have is literally the same size LED panel that Joe has. You should have received 2 of those with your order.
