Thanks for the tutorial Germaneon! After watching your video I ordered the same bulbs you have, but in white. Installation took about 10 minutes for all 6 bulbs, and that is only because I had a hard time getting one of the back seat light covers off. What a difference in light output! Great and simple 1st upgrade to my week old Compass.
Finally got around to replacing mine. They look so much better. Thanks for the video and listing the bulbs.
Since I had four left, I went ahead and replaced the bulb in the glovebox as well. Also a large improvement. It is a little tricky switching that one out due to the tight space, but is completely possible.
It's rather tight behind the flags, I removed the trim as shown in the image below (no need to remove it completely, just wide enough to get the LED behind.
Bought two additional small sockets for the LED and fixed the sockets with two sided adhesive tape. The narrow space between trim and vehicle's body when the trim is fastened again, also helps to keep it in place.
The power comes from the two other lamps in the trunk below.
Thanks for the video tutorial, very informative! However, while I was trying to pry out the plastic cover for the rear seat lights, the entire housing popped into the headliner. Any ideas of how to get this seated correctly? Or will the dealer need to do this?
Hello Germaneon,
in your video tutorial about changing LED bulbs in interier lights I saw that you have a short roof antena. Could you send me the type this antena, ev. where can I buy it?
Thank´s for your info!

Hey guys. I'm trying to do the same on a my21 compass (2022). But the dome console won't move! I hear a couple of clicks but it won't pop open.... Any ideas?
Nevermind. It just needed more force to pop...

Thank you for making this video. I tried to install the Philips LED lights, map lights are good but above the rear doors, I see some glow in LED even when the light is turned off. Can I continue to use them or shall I switch back to the stock halogens? Please advise. Thanks again.
