Lighting help

Hey everyone,

My name is Ian and I have a 98 2.5, black on tan with a fresh factory respray, anyways.. I NEED to change my interior bulbs to L.E.Ds, I know for the cluster I need 5 194 and 2 74, but what about the hvac controls, gear indicator, courtesy lights, dome lights, the little trunk lights and the license plate lights? I did a little bit of searching but it was unclear, also, if anyone can tell me which bulbs exactly i'll need, that would be GREAT!!!!

Thanks,
Ian

Hey... what about the bulb that goes next to the vanity mirror? You know the one that my girlfriend uses the hell out of behind the sun visor.

I've got those as well. If you're going to buy my interior, I'll throw them in for free.

H3Cs are almost impossible to find where I live. I had to convert a H3 bulb into a H3C for the fog lights. There's a tutorial I found somewhere here.

can you just swap to leds in the instraments??? in my supra it was apain cause the clear things that carry the light didnt work well with leds, it would cause hotspots and low light areas because the leds are more directional.

I think you converted the housing/plug to accept an H3. Converting to H3C would mean adding a connector, haha.

It's not really an issue with good bulbs. The lights I've done in MKIVs have no hotspotting.
