In my 06 I have one similar to the first one in the back and the second one in the front. These are original equipment replacement. I would upgrade to L.E.D.

Mine is diffrent in the front but I think it's because I got sunroof controls on mine. The light bulb it self is also diffrent then what is listed in the book, as I found out last night.

Maybe that's why Oznium sends a bunch of adapters?

since I have this one in the middle/back area, I am thinking about getting another one to put in over the back seat... where I then will actually be able to see!

Aight here is what I've done so far. I bought 4 White LED's from http://www.oznium.com/prewired-superflux . Installed two under the dash to replace the light under there. Looks good and lights up the whole area. I then modified the rear cargo lights and placed 1 in each of them and soldered them to the contacts that were modified. They look great also.

I also had bought two of http://www.oznium.com/led-flex-strips I can't remember what size but they have 3 LED's in it. They are not as bright as the superflux lights HOWEVER that was actually what I was trying to achieve, so it worked out great. I also soldered them into the contacts and the current light holder held the LED strip in place.

As stated somewhere in the tread, the lights do glow slightly when the jeep is on. Tomorrow I'm going to add diodes into the wiring. I beleive these are ground side switched which I've ran into before when installing emergency warning lights. I will add those tomorrow and update.

Next what I want to do is order 2 or 4 more superflux lights to install in the cargo area under the rear shelf. Also changed out my Tag light to a LED light and waiting on my other order to change my corner lights out to LED.

I will try and get some pics asap

problem i have run into is that the ones for sale on ebay do not come with the wires that plug into the light... help!

Does it have connectors inside, under the clear plastic dome? If so run some jumpers (any wire will do) to your existing wiring. The terminal that is insulated will be the positive. As far as the connector you'll have to do the junkyard thing or MAYBE RapioShack might have something that will work. OR just buy some other connectors. OR just solder the wires together.

If you don't have any terminals, you'll have to solder wires to the metal contacts.

i might do that... and then shrink wrap them on there...

As far as the light to the ceiling, a couple of dabs of high strength hot glue would work killer. I just glued on the daughters ourside mirror that she knocked off with hot glue. :dizzy:

Ran it through a car wash and it is still there. :BANANA:

I dont know if those are the right one or not but watch out for partstrain. I had to use paypal to get money back from them. They would not respond to me about a part I ordered after four weeks I had to go to paypal to solve the problem.

riptricket · **Posted:** Sun Jan 17, 2010 3:26 am

ya i read into that and have decided to use the site above... i just want to make sure the bulb will work before I drop money for 4 of them.

I've seen these 6 led lights at ebay also. 6 led is about the same brightness(maybe a little more) as your stockers. Buy them direct from China and cut out the middleman. Good service and surprisingly quick!

riptricket · **Posted:** Sun Jan 17, 2010 3:59 am

they seem to be the same price on ebay...

riptricket · **Posted:** Tue Jan 19, 2010 12:43 am

okay.. does anyone know where I can get the dome light plug with the wires?
should I just go to the dealer? i am adding another in there!
also... the 578's http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/DomeMap-LED/White-LED/SUPER-WHITE-9-LED-DOME-p4481172.htmlwork? i am ordering this week... so i need to know

candpliberty · **Posted:** Tue Jan 19, 2010 2:27 am

I take it that you don't have any light in the back right now. When you get the fixture, I would cut a hole small enough that the fixture will cover but big enough you can fish around in to find existing wiring. One of them might be for an overhead light for a different trim level from what you have. There might even be half of the lug up in there already.

i have the two lights that come with the 05 renny, but i can't see the floor in front of the back seat.
