I show you which LED lights I used to install into the Map and courtesy lights in my 2007 Corvette. These lights are from HIDextra.com and make a huge difference when lighting up my interior.

I recently swapped my courtesy bulbs out for Red LED 5-SMD bulbs. Looks great in the car...especially at night! Plan to swap the map bulbs also. Still deciding on Red LEDs or Bright White.

I installed the same kit in my c6, and always had a dead battery after 2 days. I did an amp draw test and traced my dead battery problem to the courtesy light fuse, removed the fuse and no amp draw, changed the leds out to the original lights no amp draw. The leds were confusing the time out circuit into thinking the door was being opened after the lights timed out. This was an 8 hour amp draw test and I know now that my amp draw and dead battery problem went away when I took the leds out. Beware of this kit.

Very interesting. I apreciate your comment and the knowledge and testing behind it. I only had the car for a few months and never had any issues. Definitely something to think about should anybody see this comment with your warning. Thank you. If anybody else has had this issue, please reply and share your experience as well!

@@d-one-and-only I used non polarized leds, meaning that they work regardless of which way you install them, I can't remember what name brand , but they work perfectly and no more dead battery. I bought them on Amazon. They have tiny resistors built in. Laser Fit 194's I think.

So I shattered the dome light under the mirror. Any tip for removing the remaining bits? I have no clue how you made it look so simple in your video.

Hey when you did the passenger courtesy footwell lights- did you pry the lens off or did you drop down the whole assembly like others have ?

Hey Ronin...another great vid. Just installed LED map lights and they look great. however, after closing doors and vette powers down..the maps turn off but I still have a very faint glow about them. Any suggestions?

Steve Lynn hey there, thank you for the compliment! Im not sure why it would do that. Have you tried engaging the alarm/doorlocks with your key fob and seeing if it still does it? I wondering if they stay partially lit as like a standby mode or idle in case you open the door again as if its ready for you, if the doors arent locked that is. Let me know if this was the case. Thank you!

No worries...Corvette forums all suggest it’s no big deal or concern over battery drain. Here is also response from the company. “... 100% completely normal when switching to LED bulbs. This happens because LEDs draw less electrical current compared to a stock halogen bulb. When you turn off your corvette, an electrical current still remains in the circuit. Normally your halogen bulb would use this up immediately but LEDs take a longer amount of time. Once they use up the current they will shut off. The LEDs are not drawing any new current from your battery, it's only the current that is left over.”

I have done this but for some reason the lights underneath the rear view mirror stay on, but in a low power state, when the vehicle is off. Not sure what causes this.

@@markusthomas9919 Yes, by simply buying a better quality bulb. I had some cheap ones from EBay. I bought a pair from Sylvania LEDs from Walmart and problem solved. I think they were about $5 a piece but worth it. Much better quality and actually differentiates positive from negative. Meaning it will work only when installed correctly. Never had an issue again.
