Awesome! Thank you!I’ll let you know when I take delivery in a couple of weeks. My dealer is installing the Mabett dome light as part of their PDI. The factory light is just too small, IMO.

No it will be fine. It’s an upgrade over the stock light but not crazy bright.I've got two boys in car seats in the back. One faces forward and the other backwards. Would the Mabett dome light shine directly into the rear facing boy's eyes at all? I mainly need more light back there to clip their tricky belt clips.
Just to be clear, does your mabett light have two strips of lights, or three?So I installed mine yesterday but I do have two complaints:
1) for the price, I expected it to be brighter. Having two lights versus the factory one, and having the angles so that one points to the rear seat area and one points to the cargo area is what makes this so much better than factory. But I was really hoping it would light up my cargo area really well and it does not. So I'm disappointed that I paid $140 otd and I'm still going to have to find some additional lighting for the back.
2) It was loose and totally rattled. I had cleaned off the surface with alcohol, peeled back all three of the red films for the sticky strips that were included, and when I installed it none were touching. (Too thin). I could literally floo around the entire light fixture. It was only being held in by the two metal clips...... Luckily it was designed better than the factory light and I was able to pop it back out without destroying the metal clips, added 3 strips of my own 3M double back foam tape, And now it's solid as can be.
So basically, glad I purchased it but wish It was a lot brighter, especially the light that points to the cargo area OR it was cheaper.
Man, where'd you get that discount? Amazon was out of stock, now has 1 (returned?), and the one pictured has three light rows.Just to be clear, does your mabett light have two strips of lights, or three?
(Mine has three, forward, straight down, rear).
The double sided tape on mine was fine. Wonder if he had to switch tape during production?
I'm feeling very fortunate to have gotten this thing at the discounted price!
I just ordered as soon as someone on Mabett’s FB group posted they were available.Man, where'd you get that discount? Amazon was out of stock, now has 1 (returned?), and the one pictured has three light rows.
You are right. I’m not going to make any excuses. I agree with you 100%. It’s funny actually… the engineers fought through some of the hardest issues, and then just absolutely mailed it in on a variety of little details. Sometimes it feels they were like ‘hey it’s got a wash out floor, we’re done!’ I’m exaggerating. They got a LOT right and a ton of things that other manufacturers miss entirely.this vehicle needs so many upgrades its getting ridiculous .... the front dome lights suck too ... and NO light in the glove box for this price range is pathetic
Sorry yes. There are three lights total. And yeah the tape provided looked like it was inset to the point the stick didnt actually make contact with the trim piece.Just to be clear, does your mabett light have two strips of lights, or three?

One of the truest comments I've ever seen on these forums was something like "My wife keeps asking why my 'fully loaded' Bronco needs all of these parts".There are many many posts of people frustrated with small things. It’s easy to write those off on a case by case basis. But taken in totality it’s hard to defend.
I assume you never owned a Jeep then! When I had my TJ buying "these parts" were justified becuase it was an older vehicle. I could see how this could be questioned on a new vehicle. I figure I don't ask why she needs the Imelda Marcos shoe collection, so she should not ask me about what I do with my mistress, er I mean Bronco!One of the truest comments I've ever seen on these forums was something like "My wife keeps asking why my 'fully loaded' Bronco needs all of these parts".
Guess they don't need to discount when they sell 'em!Just checked Amazon and the status for the light is "Currently Unavailable". " We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock." I guess you snooze you lose!
