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.

I also noticed that the footwell lights dim when the car is shifted from neutral.

The glove box has the same type of light. Does anyone know how to replace these lights for brighter L.E.D. lights?

This is a loooooooooong hiatus, but bump. I want to change these things in my 2016.

Me too I notice how dim they are and want to change mine on my 2016 too:sad:

Has anyone come up with anything on this bulb style yet?

I haven't been able to find anything online as of yet.

subscribed. Interested too.

Is this what you are looking to do? I did this an hour ago. I can post details later.

That's exactly what I want! What did you use to swap them out?

Thanks,

“later” ..... patiently waiting

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.

dumb question. cant we just find any LED then splice it in to the existing wires?

Looking at this it is looking like modifications to these vehicles are a little more time consuming and not a lot of aftermarket support?
