Just read those guides bro, buy the ones BlackAck tells you to on like the third page i think. I installed them the other day takes like.. 15mins max for Both Doors, Dome, Trunk, Glove Box, don't do your maps you'll regret it imo :p

I just buy leds and resistors from radioshack, it's much cheaper that way. It does require some electrical knowledge and simple calculations.
btw I didn't do my maps either, just dome, box and doors....and side markers....and neon plate light.

I bought blue 194 bulbs for my map lights and noticed that the bulb in the maplight looks completely different...like its not a screw in bulb i guess? Do I have to add anything as well as the bulb for the maplights/doorlights/dome light? I want to do all this stuff, but when I took it apart and looked, I was like fuck this haha

Didn't do my maps but they should be like the doors, dome, trunk, glovebox. Just buy the bulbs the super bright LED ones need to have -/= in the right spot (shouldnt all of them?) so touch them to see which way they need to be in order to turn on. Once you figure that out just push them in. Make sure they point out... and you dont bend or break an LED :p that always worried me when i put mine on.

i have everything in blue even my gauges but i would prefer white led but the gauges have a green tint paper built in that if u put white led's it will light up as green so before you buy leds i highly recomend you dont buy them if you have those intentions because i threw away money and i was pist lol (doors reading and glove box lights are fine)

Eh, if I'm going to have white I might as will just have incandescent bulbs. I have colored LEDs for the "cool" factor. If that makes it rice, then oh well. With the beige interior I don't have a lot of options, so I'm just doing the best with what I have.
