The front dome light in The Beast has been insufficient for reading a book while waiting for someone at night since I bought it.
LED bulb was better, but not enough.
Pontiac G8's use the same domelight, as do Holden Commodores.
I snagged one from a Commodore.
I can't use the whole assembly because the microphone faces the passenger in my car and can't be moved to the other side like mine can (different housings).
Install required depinning a 4-pin molex connector and installing a 6-pin.
It's got one little glitch.
The passenger side light doesn't like LED bulbs. JT thinks there's a resistance problem in the little board. But Harvey and I agree that incandescent is better on that side because it is less dazzling for the driver if the passenger hits the button while driving.
I still have the original dome light position.
Have you got the little tool to remove those pins?
ReplyDeleteI have an extensive collection of de-pinning tools. These molex pins need to be done in steps. First one side then the other. But it's not too hard when you get the feel.
