What lights do I order? (Quick Question)

I am going to order interior lights. I am planning to order the door lights, map lights, and dome light. Is this what I need?

1 DE3175
6 168 (4CP wattage)

Where is the pest place to order them?

The 168 is right.

As far as the dome light goes, this site claims the PIAA T-6 is the right light. I actually ordered from another site that had LED bulbs, and they also claimed that the T-6 was a DE3175 replacement..

Unfortunately, when I actually went to install it in my 2002 TLS it turns out that it would not fit. It was shorter and higher wattage than the dome light, which was rated at 7 watts and had a number starting with A .

Look up "Asiankidd" in the members file and ask him. He's a wiz when it comes to lights. He has helped me out a lot!

type 168 or m6 (polarg) is used for map light/door/trunk (5 watts)
de3175 or m88 (polarg) is used for the dome light (10 watts)

the dome light on the polarg isnt the same as stock and requires slight modification depending on the model you get..there is 2 different kinds m16 and m88

m16 is 1.25 inch long
m88 is 1.75 inch long

stock is 1.5......you can get away with both with slight modification...i personally like the longer one better because of the quality of how it was built....(i havd bad experiences with the m16's)

hope that helps

thanks for the recommendation joe

I have all my interior bulbs replaced with Hyper Whites, except for the vanity mirrors. Are there any hyper white bulbs available for them, and if so, what is the bulb number, and where can I find it ?
