Trashed my front dome light, had to ebay 2nd one, 🤞 pried the leds from the board ripping off the traces. Hope this time goes better 🙏

Very helpful, unfortunately, I don't have a helping hands station. BOY. THIS TOOK FOREVER. I had to use a pair of vise grips with a pair of pliers jammed in them to hold the board and led bulb at an angle. Found out the hard way by accident, that if you attempt to solder the new bulb on the board long enough, the whole old LED body will fall off, exposing just the original solder spots. After that, it didn't take anymore than 5 minutes to complete. But, I used this video to help, and you've been very helpful. If I wasn't broke, I'd send you some money.

Worked perfectly in my 2018 explorer. Thanks!

Lohice en mi Ford Explorer 2013 y si funcionó gracias CDMX 14 SEP 2023

You did a great job.

I have had bad luck with those leds that you put in. Within a month they would stop working or even would blink off and on.

Damn Ford would make it hard like that. I ain’t even gonna try.

There's a lot of components on that board for being a reading light.

Would using a T5 bulb or LED chip be better for this ?? Which should i get?

Makes me want to get rid of my 2013 escape idk why they made this model so dam difficult

Anyone know where you can find the same replacement LED chip so I could desolder the one one and replace it with the same thing but in cool white?

Hola, podrías ayudarme con una duda, al abrir las puertas de mi Explorer no tengo luz de recibimiento o de cortesia, ¿cuál es el motivo? El botón de luces de recibimiento no da respuesta crees que tenga algún problema con ese botón o será algún fusible?

How to did u remove the cable at beginning ?

how did you make the metal wire come out of the light

I removed the light from its case

Never see this before, SMD LED how could you do that??

!OMG!

Chip set bulbs are better man no need for cutting

i hate FORD, took you 3 hours to change LED while other brand cars take 3 min

Thanks for commenting. If I remember correctly I made the solder get onto the board first then soldered the light onto it
