changing all interior bulbs to led's

i didnt memorize all the locations and what sizes they need, but i wanna take all the bulbs out and put led's. can someone tell me how many i need and what sizes, otherwise i will just go look tonight and figure it out, but i figured you guys will have a quick answer for me.

thanks

4 - 194/168 - 2 map lights, 2 courtesy lights
1 - 44x10

www.superbrightleds.com

when you go there, they have a 6 led wedge for the 194, get that one, they claim its the brightest, you won't be disaapointed

make sure you get the 9 led 44x10 because i got the smaller one by accident and it didnt light up or stay in place very well, the longer one is way better

also if your doing your trunk, its also a 194 i believe, i'm actually posting pics tonight for everyone to see

you can also use a 921 led which has 9 leds as opposed to the 194 which has 6.

i have the 921 led's in my doors, map lights, reverse lights, and then i have a 9 led festoon bulb for the dome. next i need to do my glove box and license plate.

i got them from www.autolumination.com

Please create a listing of all the bulbs with part numbers and prices so that all of us who want to install the LED's knows what to order.

Thanks,

i think theres 2 license plate lights. you can also change the front peanut bulb (where the amber reflector is) with the 921 led. it would probably only make sense if you have cleared headlights, though.

What is the correct led bulb for the dome light? The replacement part number for the dome light is only like 34 or 36mm (the piaa replacement bulb). Will the 44mm really fit and work?

well its not my first priority right now, so dont wait at the edge of your seat for me to do this, cause i have been busy lately, but i wanna tackle this soon.

i was just curious, cause it would be alot easier if the led's came all in one package like the link for the TL is.

To get to the bulb in the glove box you have to take it apart like you would do to change your cabin filter, its a bitch. You can also change the vanity lights to Led. I bought mine on Ebay.( V-led is the store) Not to sure on how to get to the bulb in the arm rest.

Where is the bulb in the armrest? I open it and nothing lights up. Maybe 6-speeds don't have them?
