hey i know i might sound like a noob but i need help with the dome light bulb and the map light bulb im buying it from superbrightleds but the sizes are confusing me can any1 point out which 1 i would need http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b....12986&next=50

 

You want this size for the dome, and door lights 3022

The map lights are 194/168 I believe

 

he knows his stuff...

 

Damn right, bow down

 

yeaa i know but the website has them as different sizes click on the link and go all the way down......

 

those "-2" and "-4" just refer to the number of led's in the bulb, 2 or 4

 

 

have any of u guys used the led lights for ur dome and map lights?

 

The sizes for their 3022 bulbs on that "superbrightleds.com" site are wrong for our car.

Dome light you want 39mm (1.5 inches). For the trunk and the door lights you want 31mm (1.25 inches). Dome light and door lights are NOT same size. Map lights are 194/168 as stated by black97cl.

Check www.autolumination.com I just got a bunch of bulbs on there. Excellent service and decent prices.

The LED festoon lights are SUPER DOOPER STOOPER CROOPER ULTRA BRIGHT.

 

I just wanted to add:


Dome light you want 39mm (1.5 inches).
Trunk and the door lights you want 31mm (1.25 inches).
Dome light and door lights are NOT same size! (check if you don't believe me. it's easy enough)

194/168 lights for: the 2 map lights, 2 license plate lights, 2 corner running lights (by the headlight), 2 corner running lights (in the lower orange corner light).

I recommend using LEDs for these and not incandescents if you want colors. For example blue incandescents are usually just white bulbs with some kind of color on the glass - this makes them dimmer than normal. LEDs cost more but are WAY brighter. Do not use single LED 194/168 bulbs - they are even dimmer than the colored 194/168's. Use multi LED lights for max light.

 

A picture I snapped a minute ago of the bulbs I took out of my CL:



Hope that helps.

 

So should he bring a ruler when shoppin or just 'search'?

 

http://autolumination.com/festoon.htm

The sizes are listed.

 

just doesnt make sense to use lenghts

 

So, the 3022/3021 size is for which, the door and trunk?

You need a longer one for the dome? Did I read that correct?

 

I posted lengths (and that site uses lengths as well as bulbcodes) because different sites sell different length (and different wattage) bulbs as "3022."

Generally 3022 means a 30-31mm bulb at 12V 3W. Door/trunk uses 3022. Dome uses a larger size; I'm not sure about the bulbcode. It is a 1.5inch (39mm) bulb 12V 7W.
