Has anyone ever changed Footwell lights?

OEM is abit too dim for my liking.

Its a shame we lost so much knowledge due to Photobucket. All these old threads are missing photos and important details now.
Too bad server space and self hosting was so expensive at the time.

Can't speak for all of the other lights, but, sometimes, changing the gas cap will work for the Check Engine light. One of the sensors for that system detects gas-vapor leaks past the seal of the cap. If the cap isn't screwed on tightly (one to three clicks on some designs) or if the seal is worn, vapors leaking past can trigger the Check Engine Light.

I never really liked that system...a better way of doing it, IMO, would have had a separate sensor/wiring system and a "Check Gas Cap" light...but that would have probably added to production costs. And many new vehicles, particularly from Ford and GM, do not have conventional caps at all....the system seals up by itself when you pull the nozzle out, without a cap.
