Re: 2008 E350 dome light

It is amazing how many permutations there are in addressing what should be a simple problem.

Pulling the bulb has been a good solution for me so far.

LEDs for the map lights sound like a good idea.

Re: 2008 E350 dome light

Mine is fine as it is. The map lights are just wortless as I posted. Dimming the dash lights turns off the dome/map lights and I'm OK with that. The switches on the dome light also turns off the map lights. I don't use the dome/map lights unless driving. It's not a problem for me to go back and turn the dimmer off if I forget after leaving the driver seat or I can switch each on and off from the light itself.

Then I replaced the 2 dome/map light with LEDs with the same push in base. I'm happy. If I get in to drive, the lights come on, but if camping and come in the side door, or go to get something out of the back, they stay off.

I'd probably do similar but my vehicle alarm works off those
That is exactly whay I did to my 2006 van and it works well for me.
