Ok this install is super easy. All that you will need are the following items: Philip's and flathead screw drivers, Dremel (with carving attachment) or something to remove some excess plastic (utility might work or lots of sanding), and the kit sent by Oznium.

I would recommend getting Ultra Thin LED Dome Light because im pretty sure the others would not fit, unless you want to mutilate the dome light holder.

The dome holder comes out very easily. Look on the passenger side of the light and there is a notch that makes getting the cover off even easier. I used my key since i didn't have a flathead screw driver.

Once the light holder is off it there are only 2 screws to remove then the piece falls down like so...

Remove the whole dome piece by unclipping the power wire from its holder. All it takes is a simple push with the flathead screw driver on the clip.

Now to the modifications.

Take the current bulb out. KEEP IT you will need it later.
As you can see there is a nice square to put the LED panel cept the nice large bump over in the corner. That is what is going to need to be removed in order of the LED's to fit.

Here is my piece after removing the excess. I made the hole so i could more easily fit the connecters through and it still mount as flush as possible.

Now i hope you didn't throw the old bulb away cause there are 8 different connectors. Find the one that most closely matches the size of the stock bulb.

You can try to put it in via either the top or the bottom. I couldn't get mine to say it the end were a little to round. So I took a file to it and roughed the ends up so it would grab easier.
You can see the brass showing through. Thats the filed part. I doesn't take too much

The best part about this deal is that the LED panel comes pre-loaded with a self-adhesive foam on the back!!!
Before you stick it to the dome piece feed all your wiring through however you like.
Peal off the plastic sheet and stick it in the nice flat place on the dome piece.
Should look like this now.

You are 98% complete!!! Simply reverse the removal steps and you are done!!!!!

Thanks for contributing to the how-to section!

Looks like a very nice mod. I like how they included adapters for almost any bulb type imaginable --why not just ask the buyer what car they drive and only include the one they need? Seems wasteful :P

I know it'd be tough without a tripod but you should try to get some interior photos at night to really show off how much light it puts out. I've seen similar LED arrays from www.cdnautoworks.com and I was shocked at the amount of light.

i've got one of those arrays, but i put it in my trunk and i love it! its sooo bright. but now that my amp sits under them, sometimes the light reflects off the amp (chrome plated) and into your eyes...haha

for the dome i have a 6LED unit from cdn auto works, and its all been great.

How bright is it compared to stock? And wouldnt it look weird that the light is now white, but the two map lights in between are not? Im also wondering if the led lights will do the slow dim after the doors close (like stock).

LED's can still dim

and i too an curious as to HOW bright they are compared to stock

and while you're at it, replace the front map lights too, and no mismatched bulbs
