Has anyone replaced those dim yellowish lights with really BRIGHT LEDs?
What is the easiest way to replace them, and is there any DIY availabl to do it ? I looked ad mine (one is out) and did a quick assesment on what is needed, and I didn't want to start without first finding out if anyone has already done this, and what/how it was accomplished. The removal does not look that simple without removing the panel on the hatch with the emblem on it... :<(

Thanks !!

Dude, there's two pop-off panels on the inside plastic trim of your hatch, directly behind each bulb socket, just pop them off with your fingernails to access the bulbs from the rear... RTFM, lol! I swapped my stock bulbs out over a year ago with white 6-LED bulbs, they are much whiter and brighter, looks nice...

Yep it is probably the easiest and cheapest mod out, some nice 6000k led's look so sweet at night.

I get a lot of my bulbs from v-leds.com, but there are many other LED automotive bulb suppliers out there as well...

Yep V-led.com, oznium.com, superbrightleds.com, and garage1217.com are some of my personal favs.

even ebay. i got some from there that work great, too. and you can get some CHEAP deals. I got my orange side marker LED's (in the back corner of the headlight housing, by the windshield) for $0.81 plus $2.00 shipping. LOL
