Spares ... or on another car. You could put one in the trunk but it won't be bright enough.

Parking/city lights or trunk light (only 1 needed there).

Ah ... forgot about the parking/city lights. Unless they have a heat sync I wouldn't use them for the parking/city lights.

How often do you use your fogs? I've had my LEDs in for over a year no problems. I never turn on my fogs.

I just ordered some PIAA Xtreme White wedge bulbs 168/194 for the city lights.

I will try changing the city light bulbs from the top under the hood. I got long skinny arms and hands

I did search all the threads and read up on them regarding removing the air intake box. However, I would like to confirm that there is only one bolt holding the air intake box. I have to remove this bolt. Will also need to loosen the clamp.
Do I need to disconnect the MAF sensor from the air intake box?
Then I just need to pull up on it fairly hard to separate the air intake box?

Also, on the passenger side, how do I move the washer fluid reservoir neck out of the way? Is there a bolt or do I just pull up or twist?

Thanks.

Just installed all the LEDs for the interior lighting+license plate. Has anyone else had an issue with the map/dome light glowing for a while even after it's turned off?

What brand did you use? Some people have experienced this with brands other than V-LED. Might don't glow.

I guess if it turns out to be real bothersome you can switch to another brand. The V-LED 194.168 bulbs I used didn't "glow".
