Interior L.E.D. help

Alright, I have searched, looked around, and checked the owners manuel, but i can't find the sizes of the bulbs to replace
-Dome lights
-Courtesy (door) lights
-Map lights


Can someone tell me the sizes of each and how many to get etc.
or point me in the direction of a good online store to get them? I need them in green.

168/194 will work for both map and door lights. You need a 39mm long festoon bulb for the dome.

I found 36mm too short, so just to be safe i bought the 39mm and it fit my sockets.

L.E.D stands for Light Emiting Diode. Its not a brand, its a type of bulb. Brighter, sharper, energy efficient, and lasts a LOT longer.

Example- ever seen the way the tail lights on the newer Caddillacs light up? They are L.E.D.

And to remove the covers, use a very small flathead screwdriver to slowly pry it off in the spot that has a notch to fit it in.

Oh, and Slepybear, dont forget your trunk light if you are doing all interior.

I have white led clusters in my license plate light and reverse lights as well as the full interior and I love them!

Anyone know what bulb size goes in the glove compartment and the console? Those are the only 2 bulbs I haven't changed yet.

Also, anyone know why the console has a green light? Seems kinda... odd... just to make it a bit different from the rest of my setup, I might like to make the console a nice blue LED

It's not a green light there's a little filter there that makes it appear green. That little plastic piece above the cigarette lighter/charger spot is what I'm talking about. Here's a view from under the cup holders so you can see where to change the bulb.

Thanks for the info... you wouldn't happen to know the bulb sizes tho... would ya?


BTW, is that the underside of your cupholder? If so, then it's very



Also, this is a bit off topic, but has anyone ever done a cupholder mod? I ask becuase we all know the default cup holders for the back include 1 big and 1 small... any way to make both big? Or change it up into a new design?

i have a 99 so the stock cupholder was just absolutely horrid. friend of mine picked up some holders from an 02-03. all you have to do is sand down a few tabs, takes like 2 mins maybe, definitely nowhere near as bad as it sounds. and it slides right in, now my drinks stick it like duct tape
