Just looking for the the tips on swapping all the lights to led on a gen2 before I start prying at things my searches found nothing but ads for led kits.
 
I think LED swap is pretty straight forward with the same procedure as they outlined in the factory owner's manual. Not sure if it documented in the 2nd Gen owner's manual, but worth a shot to take a look there?

What about this do you want to know? I just swapped out all of my leds last week. Looks amazing !
 
Changing interior LEDs are pretty straight forward. A plastic trim remover is a big plus.

How things come apart really.... Does the whole dome light cone down... Or do I just spoke and pry at the light panels. Etc around the car.

I have a plastic pry kit.

Just get a plastic pryer or a flathead with a something soft over it so you do not scratch anything. For the fronts, pry around the edges of the clear button/cover for both front dome lights then simply pull the bulb out. For the rear domes, pry around the edges of the clear plastic cover and pull the bulb out. For the bottom puddle lights on the doors, pry out from the top long edge and the whole housing will come out. Then unplug the wire harness. With the piece you have removed, remove the clear cover from the housing and then pull the bulb out. Make sure with the LEDs that you test them before reinstalling the covers and if they do not turn on then flip the bulb 180 degrees and then they will work. Interior LEDs makes the car so different and its one of the favorite mods I've done.

Which interior kit are you guys getting? Gets pretty expensive when you order them piece by piece.
Looking for a quality kit, pure white (no blue tint). Thanks!
I did this on my older 2006 FX35 and would like to do it again on the 2015.

Someone here posted an eBay link. To this seller "integra9006hid" can't really vouch for their longevity but they shipped quick and price was under 20 shipped
 
I ordered the full kit from the same seller as well. In the kit, there are extra bulbs just in case. I've had the LEDs in for 1+ years now. No problems so far.
