Does anyone know what size bulbs would i need for my door lights?

The lights in my door on the inside are looking a bit dim, and i wanted to replace them but im not sure what size the bulbs are. Are they the same as the license plate?

Yep, same as license plate bulbs, which are the same as the two trunk bulbs. Do yourself a favor, accept that fact that once you replace the door bulbs all the other lights are going to look yellow/dim. Save yourself the extra shipping costs and order all the bulbs at the same time (dome bulbs - front and rear, trunk bulbs, etc.). If you are really going for it (as I did): visor mirror bulbs, console bulb and glove box bulb! Some of these are different type/style units, but you'll want to do all of them. The WHITE light looks some much better than stock.

The picture doesn't really do justice, the new bulbs are WHITE not blue. I'm sure you can tell which-is-which.

Typically, LEDs do not give off as many lumens and tend to be harsher (more glare) as incandescents.

Color temperature aside, have you found what you ordered to be brighter or dimmer than the incandescents?

Do you have any women that use the vanity light? Any complaints about the color temperature, brightness and/or glare of LEDs?

Thanks

Seriously, I hardly ever use the vanity lights and my wife hates my car. So we almost always take hers (when we go somewhere together). Yeah, maybe the slightest bit dimmer (there's only one LED in each new "bulb"). But I don't think there is any glare/color issues.

Realize I did this more to match the other upgraded bulbs. For $10 I figured "what the heck!"
