Anyone put in a brighter console light?
The little one between the map lights that shines down on the center stack/console area?
The existing setup seems pretty pointless to me. It is so dim that it doesnt even remotely illuminate anything below it. I'm wondering if there is a brighter bulb that can be used there. One bright enough to actually get some faint illumination down below without being to bright like a normal light.

From Slyvania's website:
these are the model number of the bulbs
Glove box
158
Map light
DE3021
Dome light
DE3175
Step/Courtesy light
194
194
Trunk/Cargo area
158
I'm sure we can find compainies that make brighter bulbs for these. I think a few people here have changed the interior

I may be wrong, but i realy believe that the light that shines through the small slot between the maplights is merely there to serve as a reference point when the car is dark to reach the overhead console area's center switch to turn on the interior lights

Also, if you don't like it, you can switch it off with the overhead console's 3-way light switch.
