I'm assuming that the trunk, cargo storage lights, and interior lights can be changed with the same bulb?

the dome light is already LED and is actually part of the entire enclosure, so you can't just replace a bulb for that

the only interior lights you can replace are the vanity lights behind the visors and yeah, these would fit in the 2015 and 2016 models, although you probably don't want the really bright ones

I don't white them to be blinding, but I do like the white color or something similar to it. Not a fan of yellow.

if you're talking about the vanity lights, I would get the basic LED:

You're probably hardly going to use them, and since those are so close, you don't want to go blind.

Hi, guys,
Has anybody tried this mode in 2018 NX300 AWD yet?
I had a very difficult time taking the plastic light assembly off. It looked like there was no space between the plastic light cover and the plastic surrounding to insert anything to pry the cover off. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I did think about something like this muyself, but decided to go with a flat Panel Light / Light strip.
42mm is way too long - would not fit. The little fuse bulb in the cargo/trunk area is small... I am guessing it was maybe 3/4 of an inch. I will measure it when I get home / check the bulb designator in the owners manual.

Here is the picture of the cargo light assembly in the 2018 NX300. As you can see, the cover sits very tight and I was afraid to insert anything between the light cover and the plastic without damaging the assembly.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

They may have switched to LED already. My 2015 has a switch on the assembly and your's doesn't. If they switched to LED, they may have left out the switch since the LED takes so little power. Is the light yellow or white?
Normally, you could take a plastic pry bar and insert it on one of the short sides and pop it out. You may need to experiment on which short side to work on.
I know for the dome light, the LED is integrated into the fixture, so we can't replace that.
