Replacing the only non-LED bulb: the 4 vanity lights

Every light in our Claritys is a LED except the 4 vanity lights on the 2 visors.
I know the draw of these light is infinitesimal and that they are rarely on, but hey, it’s the principle of the thing!
Just can’t sleep at night knowing there are incandescent bulbs in my high tech Clarity.

So, I just ordered 4 LED bulbs (F30-WHP-12V: 12V) from SuperbrightLEDs.com. They are $2.49 each and total w shipping for 4 is $13.71.
Here is the URL for any other geeky, OCD Clarity owners:

To replace just remove the cover. It pops off by gently prying at top side where there is a small opening just for that purpose. Once popped out rotate top toward you a little and pull out. Replace by inserting tabs at bottom first and pushing the top in. This sequence will hopefully keep you from breaking off any of the tabs.

Anybody else want to join me in the insane asylum?

I don’t really have OCD, I have CDO. It’s like OCD but the letters are in the @*€#^& correct order!!

 

Will do and add pix Kimosabe!

 

Ken7, you are correct on color temp. Few women like how they look under flourorescent or bluish tinted LED lighting.
Unlike most LEDs, this one is so special iced that it only comes in one model. Will post how it appears when I get it. I suspect it will be cool white not warm white and not bluish. Time will tell.

 

Glockgirl, if you backup to my original post you will find a link to SuperbrightLEDs. I ordered 4 and am waiting on them to arrive. I will post results when they come in.

 

Just received and installed the SuperBright LEDs I posted about. They were the exact size of the OEM filament “fuse” size lights. Went in perfect and took all of 5 min. They are much brighter than the OEMs and I do not find them bluish at all. I’d call them cool white. They are just slightly whiter than our convenience lights which I thought were white but look slightly warmer than these.

One thing to note: these LEDs are polarity specific. Touch them to the contacts before pressing them in place and if they don’t light up just reverse them. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Also my original instructions on removal and reinstalling were incorrect. Removal is as stated from prying on cut out on outside top edge but you reinstall by putting the tabs on the top of the cover in first and then you snap in the bottom.

Here are some before and after pix. My apologies for the over exposure and blooming of the light intensity. In real life the OEMs are dim and the LEDs bright. But the colors are representative of how they actually appear. Also included a pix of the opaque cover so you wil know what you’re prying against. I went slow with a dental pik and didn’t break any tabs off.

Bottom line-I don’t think they are blue, just cool white, and so I don’t think the Missus will make you sleep on the sofa if you install these. I’m very happy w them.

 

Sorry. I posted the pix wrong. Here they are.

 

Yes. My bad for not indicating so.
