Brigher Ambient Lighting
I noticed (or not noticed) that the footwell and the little light over the cup holders are pretty dim at night.
Is this a voltage thing or just aging LEDs? Is there a way to make them brighter, do I just need to swap the LEDs? Ambient lighting is already set to 100% but could barely notice them on at night. TIA! |

They're supposed to be like this. You can get brighter LED modules from sites like AliExpress, but as someone who's tried every vendor - the colors don't match the OEM colors, and finding a matching pair of footwell/cupholder LED modules will never work - there'll always be a color difference which will drive you crazy.
If you don't mind the color difference, then go for it. The swap is very straightforward for the footwell lights - as for the cupholders, you'll have to remove the middle airvents, HVAC control, and then pull the trim that holds the cupholder LED module. |
