Overhead console light color ..........

[cactus_kid]

If FoMoCo stays true to form,they will not be LED. So, the question is, what color LED bulbs to replace them with. I'm leaning towards red as I have the appearance pkg seats with the orange stitching and cross stripe just below the headrest. What say ye ?

Looks like it isn’t LED. But, there also isn’t any mention of a difference with the turn signals, which I thought were not LED. And the entire section is not in the Mach 1 owner’s supplement.

W5W is the equivalent of an 194. They are interchangable. I have a set of the white in my bulb drawer. I'm trying to decide if I want to install a red LED in the drivers side position.

Red sounds interesting, especially for night driving. Unfortunately I’m in NY, which requires white. 99% of the time you won’t get a ticket for it. But occasionally you’ll get a cop looking to write you for any little thing.

Miami beach, what a shame. Back to the post overhead console, are you talking about the dome light?

Shortly before my late father passed, he let the cat out of the bag. It was something we'd long suspected. My grandfather, this little 'ol very quiet slender Italian man that could hide behind a utility pole, was in fact an enforcer for the "Family."

Yes. The two dome lights in the overhead. I prefer to have them match the "My Color" selection. Why Ford chose to use old style filament bulbs is beyond comprehension.

Considering how much money they’re saving by getting rid of the glovebox light you would think they could afford to upgrade the domes to LED’s

Yes, put the red in. The worst that could happen is you don’t like them.

I did colored interior lights in my old SRT-4. I must have been going thru a ricer faze. Anyway I learned real quick that colored lights suck. The whole idea of a light is to illuminate an area so you can see. If you put a red bulb in. it’ll make a great place to develop photos. Not so great for anything else.

Sadly, the filament bulbs don't do the job. They are imho, an afterthought on Fords part. To me, if they can't afford to put in white colored LED bulbs, don't do it. My ST Explorer has them from the factory. Why not the Mustang?

What I thought .. guess some drive around with the dome light on ?

Hello Long Island
"Unfortunately I’m in NY, which requires white" Are you saying driving with dome light on, must be white ?

Realizing we are talking about NY. You have a clue as to what the hell, that's all about, every asked?

Totally agree. They are simply for cabin illumination purposes only. They are not map lights. Those have gone the way of the ............ Uh ........... My ex wife.

Normally, no. However, on occasion the extra light helps keep one alert on a long drive at night when time is of the essence in getting from point A to point B.

Why would you need a light for Google maps? Did phones not have back-lit screens in the Cretaceous?

I don't need a light for google maps. I was trying to point out that "map lights" are in this day and age, a useless piece of equipment.

Between De Blasio and Cuomo, is there any wonder NY is a joke ?
