Yeah, you don't want to "make the night white hot" with that "HID Attitude, Xenon Fueled" feeling? LOL!

Switched out my cargo lights with LEDs. Took me less than 5 mins to replace both the first time through. And wow, big difference!
Only problem I encountered was when I was testing and switching the on/off switch, the bulbs are slipping out of place. I noticed that the LED assembly is not as pointed at the contact points as the stock, which causes the bulb to slip out of place. No big deal for me as I don't really plan on switching it off anyway. Though it would have been nice if the bulbs would just sit securely in place.

which replacements did you get? 27-28mm festoons are a better fit than the 31mm ones some advertise as replacements. Crazy how much better it is with this small simple upgrade, huh?

Yep, the difference is literally like night and day.

In my NX, the 28smm's are the proper-fitting LEDs. I tried the 30's thinking I could squeeze them in, but to no avail.

Congrats! I love my new cargo lighting. No only does it light up the cargo area, but the light shines out to the top of the bumper, where I often put things there in order to take a closer look.

Can you tell me the best way to remove the plastic lens to get to the bulbs in the rear hatch?
Do I need a tool of some sort?
Thanks in advance.

The key is to pry from the same side as the switch. Otherwise, you may break the tabs/hooks on the other end.
