I would LOVE to do this. I've already converted headlights to 35w ddm tuning hid's. Dome light to LED. Same with reverse lights and license plate lights. I'd love to go full led with the other rear lights. Also, I want to track down the wirimg diagram and set the front center marker lights to only come on during the marker light setting and not with headlights. Also in a day or two I'm swapping my friend his clock block for my real clock. Here's the coolest part. I'm gonna mount to bolts sticking out of the clock block and use them as hangers for my mpguino box! Its gonna look so sweet and i won't have to pull eyes far off road at all to monitornlean burn or fe.

Interesting idea here tho. When you use an LED buld for dome light, after turning off car it will stay lit very dimly because the dome is somehow connected to the radios memory power. This tiny bit of power is enough to keep led slightly lit. Not a big deal, but I decided to buy an additional dome light and mount it up front as a map light. It will be very easy to wire in series with the existing dome light. Result equals map light, more lighting options and the bulbs won't stay lit because the second led from up front will act as a small resistor
