Car won't start after dome light was left on

Replace the 12v battery, your battery is probably drained to the point that it lost all its charges

 

I second the battery replacement. It's already 5 years old. If you try to charge it and use it, it most definitely will leave you in the same position again in the near future.

 

This is why I replaced the original interior lights, all incandescent, with much lower current LED models. This gives 5X to 10X more time to discover such errors before the battery is too low to function. And whereas incandescent lamps draw more current as voltage drops and the filament dims and cools, LEDs do the opposite, drawing less current, extending battery life somewhat more. Though the details vary considerably depending on the particular design.

I selected lamps specifically for low current, which also meant getting unidirectional lamps in different configurations, end-emitting and side-emitting. Many others converting to LEDs go for brighter light, and for omnidirection lamps so that one version fits all locations, and don't save nearly as much current as my scheme.

 

I recently did this for both my pri, cost was about $5 from the wish app
Also got blue bulbs for a "cool" look
about 4 months in and all are still working, so it was an easy and cheap diy "upgrade"

 

I just turn off all the ones with switches. There's still a few without switches though: the foot well lights, the lights in the doors.

 

I always peak at the dash board and the led cob strip footwell glow upgrade that I threw in before walking away to make sure my 12v will last 15 years.

 

I bought a cheap led interior kit and it came with spares. The spares replaced the license plate lights and they last a year, on for 3 hours a week.

 

I decided against replacing the plate lights, only because led bulbs are tinted blue, and I dont need
a reason for johnny law to be checking on me or my family.

 

Around here there's pretty much no inspections, and older cars invariably have one or both license plate lights burnt out. Problem solved, lol.

 

I bought cheap LEDs fron Ali. They last ~1 year. Now I can buy Osram or Philips, so I will replace with those one each that failed.

 

Look for 4300 temp bulbs, they’re non blue.

 

lol, i went with the "cool ice blue" to match my Persona blue floor lights.
