Dumb question...but where is that darn fuse box located?

Ever heard of the manual . . . .

Just swapped all my lights according to this guide, thanks a bunch!!! It was spot on

My rear footwells took me like 5 minutes as the harness came out, not sure why yours didn't.....the drivers footwell and the glovebox are the biggest PIA because of how little room you have to work (and have to deal with the pedals).

Having trouble understanding to what degree I want some of the bulbs? For example for the footwell lights I can purchase 90 or 32 degrees same with Map Lights I can purchase 120, 90, or 32 degrees?
What do I want, what is the difference?

Your post is a month old but I rarely ever check this thread anymore. The degrees is just the angle of light given off. For example, a 32 degree bulb is only going to put out light straight out (kinda like a flashlight), whereas a 120 degree bulb will give out light in almost all directions (like a naked 60 watt light bulb on a lamp). You need to take into account the orientation of the bulb and how much light you want to leave the housing and light up the interior of your car.

Since all the wedge and bayonet bulbs are mounted in the housings laterally, a narrow angle (32 degree) will shine mostly at the side of the housing, whereas a wider angle (120 or 90 degree) will allow more light to go out of the housing and through the plastic cover. If you want a brighter interior, get the wider angle bulbs and vice versa. I hope this helps, even if it is a month late.

Man!!!! I had the hardest time getting the bulbs to work. I got my set from ECS, all of them fit great except for the wedge type, I had to bend out the connections on all of those bulb housings to get the "white" collar on the bulb to sit further in the plug. If not the top diode would be in the way of the clip that holds it into the door of housing etc. It took a while of manipulating the terminals on the plug, and the leads on the bulb to get a good connection. Unpluging the fuse was not an option for me, seeing as it was a constant jiggle fest to get them to light and stay lit. so unplugging the fuse and closing doors to reset the timer would have proved to be to fustrating. They look great though. All hyper white BTW
