Lightbulb Calling all LED Kings - Need a Definitive L.E.D. Guide for Interior Conversion

Hi guys!

I had another thread goin but it got deleted due to my tendencies... hehe, so here goes another.

Anyways, I'm looking to go full blue LED interior (Maps/dome/Courtesy already done). I know at this point the radio can only be done by soldering (right?).
I also know that the rest of the dash lights (Sunroof/cruise/Climate control, etc.) all have kits from LEDAutomotive.com (which are a little pricey for me, hence this thread).
I have done a ton of searching through the 19000 threads on this, but there is no definitive guide that lists each dash component and it's respective LED bulb type. I haven't been able to find a concrete list, so hopefully this will be it.

If it's not asking too much, could someone fill in the blanks of this template I've so creatively constructed :

Component________Bulb Type(s)_______Amount
Climate Control
Clock
Cruise Control
Defrost
Fog Light (If applicable)
Gauge cluster
Heated Seats
Odometer
Reset/Select
Shift Gate
Sunroof

As well, where would the best place to order all of these be (V-Leds [Pairs], Superbrightleds, etc.)? Hopefully not ledautomotive.com, essentially eliminating the need for this thread ...

i always wanted to know the led sizes for the sun visor mirrors, coin tray, and glove box. it would be great if all the sizes were compiled into one list so we could order the leds from any site and save on shipping and time from testing out bulbs.

lol thats just him being himself, i thought it was funny


anyway, that list works for the most part, when youre looking for the led replacement, you want to look for those same numbers. so like a #74 oem bulb = #74 led bulb. you prbly realize that, but just to get it out there...

im trying some ebay ones just to see if any of them are worth the diff in price.

http://autolumination.com/74.htm

fog lights i wouldn't recommend LED cuz that jus renders them useless...

there is a pretty nice "DIY" in the DIY section.

If anyone is interested some of the 2G CL guys have done an LED Gauges conversion. They even found an Ebay supplier that sells the bulbs cheap.

Thanks for the responses!

So after some more searching, and now knowing the #74 bulbs are the most commonly used, I believe they fit everyone of the dash components except for the Sunroof/Cruise/TCS/Reset/Select.

Does anyone know what kind of bulb those take?

You could open it up, find out the bulb, order the bulbs..and then put it all together..

Yes ... that would "envolve" work.

After assessing the situation initially, it seemed more efficient to me to get the bulb type from someone who has already done this or already knew, rather than disassembling the dash.

Seems at this point, the latter would've been more productive

Yeah, we need a better descriptive DIY to the interior lighting in my opinion. I plan on doing this soon too.

The vanity/sunvisor bulbs are D29mm bulbs. Shift gate is also 74.

That movie was classic .
Didn't even recognize the quote to be honest and I loved that movie.
"He was a re-tard ..."
That chinese guy when he did the fake jerk-off / semen sling was fuckin hilarious.
