Am I able to replace the stock bulbs with LED's? I replaced the map and dome lights and the 2 lights under the mirror look weird now. Thanks

Aren't the map lights the ones under the mirror? I replaced the dome lights on my 2013 JK and now the color doesn't match.

Did you replace the footwell lights?

I think the mp lights are the ones above the front row seats, the dome light is the one in the back (unlimited). There are 2 lights that I see from outside that are under the mirror, though.

No, I didn't do anything to the footwell lights. Check for the Putco brand lights, they make them for the whole interior and will match.

If you replace the rear dome light with a LEd light not compatible with Canbus, the lights under the rear view mirror will stay on.

There are two fixes, buy the right LED light, or wire another bulb inline to trick the Canbus.

Search LED dome lights - there are a few threads here on it.

The lights under the mirror turn off, I would just like them to be LED's so they match the others.

I wound up just removing the bottom piece of the mirror which pops off and unplugging the wire that powers the lights then put it back together. Problem solved.

So you didn't do anything with the small black "holster" that unclips from the back of the mirror and has 5 wires?

What did you use to pop off the bottom of the mirror?

Never mind.... I got it! Pried off the bottom plastic plate.... Lifted the circuit board and unplugged the map lights... Put it all back together.

The map lights under the mirror are already LEDs, if you want to change out the LEDs then you need to pull the circuit board out, unsolder the old LEDs and solder in the new ones. If you are making a big color change, like going to red lights, you can use colored glass and glue it inside the cone as a lens.

I changed all of mine to red, red glass beads with stained glass glue was used and it looks good.

Glad you figured it out. For some reason, I'm not getting email notifications anymore for threads.

I have a 13 Unlimited and I can't figure out how to take off the lens on the rear dome light, and cant figure out how to take the bulbs out of the front dome. (F'n NOOB) I tend to be rough on parts that don't come loose easily. Any tips? Also, does anyone know the bulb number for the footwell lights? Would like to change those to red LED as well, but the dealership has been worthless!!

The narrow side on the drivers side is where you want to gently pry on the rear dome light. The best way I found to get the small map lights out is to use a tooth pick or a very small screw driver after the light is out to wedge the bulb forward from is holder. Hope that helps.

Can pre 2013s without the leds under the rear view use a non Canbus festoon in the back?
