I also attached a small, rear facing CR battery keychain LED using VHB tape between the two LED spot lights up front, so I can leave a light on without using the car battery. Lights up the entire interior.

Nice idea. Would you have a link? You leave it on all the time?

I did. It's not that hard, actually. There are a lot of online marketplace on the internet from where you can purchase LED lights, so if you browse the internet carefully, you can easily find something that will suit you. The LED lights installed in my Honda Acord were purchased from
Amazon Amazon
, I will recommend you use the help of an electrician when installing the lights because the installation process might get tricky. So if you want to get a qualitative job, you better use the help of a specialist in this field.

There is a way to do that, and all you need to have is a good car electrician who will do everything fast and clean. And I mean it when I say it because it’s better not to try to do things yourself if you are not sure about the result and not sure what to do at all.
This was a mistake I made trying to install LED strip lights from vont.com inside my car. The installation process was not difficult but what was difficult was the process of connecting those LEDs to the car’s electrical system. I tried to do that myself, but it only worsened, and I had to call an electrician.

I have a 2018 CX5 GT. I installed these ones from Amazon and could not be happier! They were super easy to install but be super careful taking off the light cover, you don’t want to scratch it or break a connection. Thankfully I was good! Lol!

So glad I found a YouTube video showing how to change the bulbs myself, then I bought these LEDs from AUXITO in place of the dimmer and hotter Halogen bulbs. Saved a TON of money and it took me all of 3 minutes to install them. Very bright but not too bright, I got the warm white option. As for longevity...time will tell.
