why waste your money on line out converters and running a buck of wire cut the outputs from the back of the head unit run themwith 9wire into a high-level input on your amp run a 9wire from output of back back into the leads you just created when you cut the wires on the back of the head unit.BE ALL END ALL LIST

Because it takes 5 minutes.....why waste your money on line out converters and running a buck of wire cut the outputs from the back of the head unit run themwith 9wire into a high-level input on your amp run a 9wire from output of back back into the leads you just created when you cut the wires on the back of the head unit.
awesome man that would be dope! thank you!Hey! I did mine but forget how. I'll redo it and see if i can do a write up for you
Awesome thanks! Looks like both of those are for the rear light only, but ill give it a try.Here are a couple of guides I found, one from the official car manual for the regular bulb lamp room light
View attachment 1155
...and the other from an online service manual for the LED type.
So I just did this install today of swapping the interior lights, trunk light, and license plate lights out for LED's.Awesome thanks! Looks like both of those are for the rear light only, but ill give it a try.
So it looks like to get to the bulb you just gotta remove the clear plastic cover, not the entire housing.
