- First off, if you don't have a sturdy trim tool, do yourself a favor and spend under $6 and buy some - here's a link even, amzn.to/2aJLbi2

After seeing a lot of ways to replace the map lights in newer Dodge Chargers, and how they all revolved around modifying a pair of pliers, I decided to make a video on the easier and correct way to do it.

Started by using the Diode Dynamics approach in my 2015 Charger.....what a pain. Changed strategy and used your approach.......easy, peasy! Thank you for being a pioneer!
Just finished doing this. It looks amazing. Thanks for the assistance.
I was a little skeptical about popping out the whole piece after i heard the first pop but, it works. Thanks again!
Thanks man your video really helped. It took hours trying to do it the other ways without taking out the complete map light compartment.
Thanks for this video. Saved me loads of time messing around in dim light trying to change out the bulbs. The difference from that horrible yellow (like someone's been smoking 20 a day in your car) to clear white LED is remarkable. Think I'll use a red led for the glove box.
Was it on Ebay for about $28? I got those. They came loose in a packet, but they all seem fine. Also have a few spare and not sure where they're supposed to go!
Ah right, they look very similar. I got these: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0734KSCBV/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Very informative, saved me a lot of work.
IDK. i just took the clear light covers off. took me 2 mins to install both sides. lol.
5:12 lights don't work lol
he cut the vid after that
Thank you that was so incredibly helpful.
Omg I wished I would have watched your video before I did it the hard way, thank you.
Damn... I did my led's the hard way just like diode dynamics recommended... WOW!!
same lol, actually broke a bulb by trying to wrap the tape around it and pull. this is much easier!
Huge help thanks for uploading.
Thanks for this. I am replacing my console with on with Homelink and had no idea how to take it off.
Antonio,
How did the Homelink addition work for you?
Very helpful, thank you!
What about the other ones? Do you have to go to the dealer to get them replaced
awesome help. thank you.
What about the other two white lights? I changed mines today and they work but still have those two halogen lights that come on too
So is this the same concept for a 2013 Chrysler 300??
Thank you!
I have a 2012 Chrysler 300 overhead console with similar setup except I have four lights, two overhead and two map. I changed the two overhead interior lights by popping out the entire unit. My question is how in the world do you change the map light bulb to the led?
snakemonkey555 I have the same question
Same..
Nobody has made a video of dz ... I wanna change all 4 In the front not just the 2 of them
same
What about the other two lights because i have four and cant get to two
Saul Goodman is that you?
Any idea on how where to get the reading lamp LED's?
I have the same question
Do you know how to remove the whole thing?
I have a 2016 Dodge Charger Rallye and on all the interior lenses there some kind of sticky spray film it's like they were trying to make the interior lights dull? It's really weird and kind of gross looking. I never got a chance to ask the dealer because they went out of business
Thanks👍
Broke my one of my bulbs doing it the the uncover way🤬🤬🤬thanks I will try your way.
same here, wish i had saw the video sooner
wow... wish I would have watched this 2 hours sooner lol
This seems way more complicated than what I did. I just popped open the front end of the light cover (super easy), no need to take the whole thing off. Just use a pair of small pliers, grab the bulb and leverage against the light can and the bulb easily pops out. Then just take the new one and guide it in and push up with your thumb. Did both lights in less than 2 minutes.
Hey, there are 4 bulbs total there. How did you replace/cut off the other two? The other two that IMHO are irreplaceable. You don't show that in the video, but you suppose to have two red and two yellow bulbs to come on when you open the door. Unless my 2016 Charger is different than yours ;-)
No, sir. I'm talking about 4 bulbs in the map light thing that you have removed. All 4 are there. All 4 are lit when you open the door. Two are already LED's, but they are yellow, just like the other two you've replaced. Where or how I could show you the pic? P.S. The bulbs underneath the doors are super easy to replace, just like the glove compartment or the trunk, as well as the lights above the rear doors (interior).
Thanks! I hate yellow bulbs, so every house, every car I've ever owned I would replace yellows with bright white LED's. Charger is no exeption, but map lights now look weird with 2 yellows and 2 whites when the door is opened...hope you can help :-)
Are you still looking into it? :-)
Thanks for looking. It's only 4 bulbs in the unit that you've removed, so it gotta be it.I'm mad at Dodge we can't replace those yellow ones with nice bright whites easily...hopefully you can figure that out eventually. Thanks again
begalviux yeah there are 4 light in the map lights..the other 2 that doesn't show on the video are the reading lights. I'm having the same problem I got to replace 2 main light with LED but my other 2 are currently still yellow smh but great installation video it help me with my charger!
How do you change the other two reading lights?
We all have the same question... somebody has to make a video of dz being done!!!!!! ASAP
same question...
Was hoping for the mini map lights, not the full lights.
How do you change the lights in the back seats
james lill You've got to unscrew the handle on top and go all inside it's not easy as the dome or mirror lights
Will this work in the 2013 charger?
Oscar Torres yes
How you change the third brake light in the inside
Because I just want to put a decal on top of the brake light.
5:13 lights work ... zero lights turn on hahahaha
Any idea on how to replace the two floorboard lights with LED bulbs? My kit from Amazon didn't include those two.
This floorboard LED's are board mounted LED's. To replace them you would either have to desolder them and find an LED that you can somehow manage to solder it back on. Or you will have to cut the wires and wire in another board and modify the foot board cover. I haven't attempted it...
I give up. My damn pry tool is all bent these metal clips just aren’t giving out lol. The plastic clear ones are also really hard to take out but whatever I guess
Dude fakkin thank you!!!
LMAO what channels were you watching that suggested that rickety shit rubbery tweaker plyers??? No one ever looks at a service manual anymore, even though most are available online and can give you simple best practices for processes like this one in under a minute :))
you dont even have ap lights, map lights are tiny led lights connected to module. has a seprate switch that push in plastic cover..easist wasy is put . a tiny piece of black tape to cover it. and chage the other 2 bulbs...2012 charger have 4 bulbs in there.. i think yours is SE not RT ot sxt plus
soooo nobody gona say nothing about the "pry tool?"
Have anyone tried this on a charger 2020
you talk to much
