My solara has no map lights. Any solutions?

Postby MountainDude » Thu May 07, 2009 9:52 pm

Just got a 2001 SE V6 AT (love it!), and am trying to get it all set up. I have figured most things out (audio jack for Sirius and MP3 player, trunk cargo net, fumoto valve, ...), but would like a nice solution for map lights. The center interior light is just not good enough, because of the angle.

Has anyone come up with a nice solution they are willing to share?

Thanks.
MountainDude, New Mexico.

I have no map lights though

Thanks for the replies guys. I can see how changing the dome light to an LED can help. However, I'd still like to have map lights up front. I found out that some people use clip-on lights which run on batteries. They just clip them onto the visor. I might do that until I find a better solution.

AutoZone has a LED board.
I bought one, and put it in my map light area, you have to take out the clear divider.
Man the LED board is hella bright. lol.
