The map lights on my 2020 Outback were not very bright and were in need of an upgrade, however the map lights are not normal bulb lights, but an LED on a PCB. I found a cheap bright 12v LED and designed an adapter so it could be mounted in place of the standard map lights.
Left is the standard map light, right is the new map light.
Materials Needed:
2x 12v LT-12447 LEDs: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805939755302.html
4x M3x6 Wafer head bolts: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832862738174.html
Installation:
To replace the map lights, you will need to pull down the top center trim where the sunglass holder is located. There are 2 bolts inside the sunglass holder and then you pull down on the trim to release the clips. Be careful to NOT touch the eyesight cameras, which could cause issues with the eyesight system. There are a few videos for dash cam installs that show how to remove the trim. Then you just unplug the old lights and remove the 2 screws on each one.
I don't know the exact type of connector that is used to connect the original LED, but it has 2.54mm pin spacing, I used some male jumper wires to plug into the connector. If anyone knows the 2 pin connector type that is used, please let me know, I would like to have it properly wired in.
