for the map lights a 194 bulb will fit, and 12Leds will be bright enough
but for the dome light you'll need a festoon bulb not the 194s

I got mine in the mail yesterday and installed em' all in like 10 mins!! I'm running the superwhite bulbs all around. . .which is basically the map lights/courtesy lights/dome light/glove box light and liscense plate. They look Greatt and I'm very happy I decided to do this mod!!!! As far as the dash lights, gauges and things of that nature, I'm going to have to hold off for a while. I don't have the time nor the patience for thatt!!


Anyway, If you havent already done this mod, deff. re-consider and go for itt!!! You won't regret it!!

Only when the ground is wet! I have the same set up but I switched from a narrow beam like below to a wider light beam.

i'm confused, what kind of bulbs for door lights? your chart says 158.. i assume they're a 168. but when i looked at the bulb just to check if it'll fit, it looks like a round socket bulb not a push in bulb. also, for the dome light, what size? fuzzy02cls said he used the 44x10mm. you guys are saying to use 30x10mm. size for door lights? and size for dome light? just to make sure. i'm asking those of you who have done it already. thanks!

i wouldn't use the chart.
i'm fairly certain all the lights are push-in 194 bulbs except for the dome light which is a festoon bulb.

I wouldn't buy directly from there though. look around before you buy.

I just use that list to cross reference.

The reason there is so much light on the ground below the plate is because I forgot to put the housing back over the bulb, ill take a pic tonight of it.

White...you'll get pulled over for having amber in your roadlamps. Cops in Cali won't like them.

Is anyone else having a problem with their festoon bulb for the dome light??? I replaced mine the other day, and i noticed that when the light is turned on, it flickers a little bit. So I tapped on the plastic casing and the light completely shut off and wouldnt go back on. I took it apart and found the bulb wasnt touching the metal clips inside. For some reason the LED bulb is smaller and shorter than the OEM one, and does not stay in place securely. Does anyone else have the same problem as me, or know what I'm talking about. . .?

Nice lookin good i opted for a 5 LED wide angle bulb so the light isnt quite as bright but it covers more of the license plate from side to side
