When we were kids, our parents taught us to never, ever turn on the dome light. As we grow up, however, most of us know the importance of good interior lighting for our cars.
If your dome light has been starting to flicker or fade, it may be time for a replacement. Fortunately, finding that replacement is easier than ever today, with lots of great options available.
We may not live in a world of paper maps anymore, but it's still a good idea to have enough light to let you read inside your car. In any situation where you need a light, you don't want to have to rely on your phone's flashlight.
Good interior lighting can also be a smart safety measure. In the event that you go off the road or find yourself stranded, you want as much light as possible to let helpers know where to find you.
Finally, a good dome light is a good look for your car. It brightens the interior, provides a sense of cohesion, and lets you feel more confident in the overall image that you and your car present to the world.
Dome lights are not, strictly speaking, an aftermarket installation. This means that most cars come with a dome light already installed. However, that doesn't mean that replacing the light is a difficult task.
Most car owner manuals should offer some advice on how to replace your light with an LED dome that lights the interior. If you can't find all the answers you need there, look online. Most dome lights are easy to swap out, so you can take complete the task yourself without a lot of effort. This kit fits most non-factory fitted LED dome/interior lamps.
If you don't have the time or energy, you can always take your car to your local mechanic or body shop. Either way, smart LED lights like the Type S smart dome light are designed to be easy to install and even easier to use.
Please note: When installed in exterior lamps or on the vehicle exterior, LED upgrade globes/decorative lights are intended for off-road or decorative use only. Please check your local laws before using.
