This is sad but after owning my 2014 2dr wrangler for about a year I literally just realized I have map lights lol. On the front of the Jeep there's two small buttons in the very back that can be depressed on either side. I just recently decided to replace my dome light with leds. I have decided on the leds im gonna go with but If anyone has a good suggestion please do chime in.

Anyway, back to the map lights. I see the map lights have a squared shape like slit I'm thinking I could gently pry off. Has anyone replaced their halogen map lights with leds? If so are they soldered or plug in? . I know the dome are plug in and very easy to change. I'm thinking the maps are probably soldered?

Yes, the map lights are soldered and I've heard people say it is too much of a to work with.

An alternative, if you've switched to colored interior lights is to buy some camera flash gels and cut to fit and stick over the OEM lenses.

Hope this helps!

They're plenty bright for what they should be used for. I wouldn't change them.

Thx for the replies. If it's a big issue ill avoid. Any recommendations on leds for the dome bulbs?

I don't notice them because the first mod I did was flip the rearview mirror upside down for greater visibility - so the map lights became useless.

but they already are LED's, that as StarBrite pointed out - are soldered to the boards so there is no easy way to replace them.

If you look in my build thread around May 9-20, I posted the bulbs I used when I swapped out, along with a link to the ebay listing, I think. I used blue LEDs, but you should be able to use the specs for those lights and then pick your color.

Cool. Thanks I'll check them out.

I can't find -- could you be more specific? The interior is woefully lighted IMO

On the underside of the rear view mirror, towards the back, there are two small lights and switches to turn them on/off. If you still can't find them, try using the camera on your cell phone and take a picture UP from underneath. Then you'd have a better idea of where to reach.

My lights shine straight up at the windshield header lol.

Thanks. Not on mine. Must be part of Power Package or something. I have a very basic Sport.

Does your rearview mirror auto-dim? if not then you probably don't have lights

another tip would be if there's a wire bundle coming down from the headliner to the rearview mirror mount point.
