Rear Dome Map Light Assy Mod for '04 thru '08 F-150 Trucks

Rear Dome Map Light Assembly Modification for more light on the floor of 2004 thru 2008 Ford F-150 Trucks.

Learn How to modify the Rear Dome Map Light Assembly for more light on the floor and rear seat area of your 2004 thru 2008 Ford F-150 Truck. From the OEM the Rear Dome Map Light Assembly only turns on the center dome light as a dome light. I show in detail how to make the two map lights come on with the dome light by adding a short jumper wire to the back of the Dome Map Light Assembly. I show drawings of the circuit that this affects and the resulting additional load to this circuit. I show the tools required for the task. As a bonus, I also show you how replace the 578 Dome Light bulb and the 921 Map Light bulbs.
