v-leds.com -- need to know which is right for one for car

So, I recently put it new dome lights from v-leds.com and they look fantastic, and I want to change out the lights on my front doors as well, but the sylvania fit guide that v-leds.com links you to doesn't mention that specific light, so I was wondering if anyone with prior experience could direct me to the right product.

I have a 2004 TL

The ones that worked for the dome lights were these:

Maybe that helps.

Thanks in advance

Realized this may be in wrong subforum -sorry...im a newbie, and still learning the site.

6bulb wedge for your dome?

The sylvania fit guide said these were the dome lights, but they didn't work, so i had to use the license plate bulb ones which worked, and work very well might I add

so let me apologize for my ignorance in advance. I'm looking at the full selection of the 194 - 168 - 158 LEDs, and I see several 6 bulb options, and don't know which is right one for the front doors.

Basically (and since you have given me the idea), I want to change out both front doors, both vanities, armrest and glove box.

If i have this right, I could go with the "license plate" ones for everything, but it just depends how bright I want it, I assume?

You have no idea, I went through alot of $$ on these little F'in light's until I had ALL LED'S, that satisfied my liking.....

they are all a "simple" install, pain in the ass describes it best.

I thought it might be a fitment issue with those, I'll let the expert's chime in on them cuz

Your kinda right but there are alot of other factors, like the angle at which the bulb is pointed, how many bulb's ETC:

EX: I'm running flank's in the vanity/trunk cuz the light goes in sideway's but shine's directly down. A wedge there(vanity) would shine sideway's and the light would have to reflect down. On the flipside,a wedge is perfect for the door's as it shines straight on...

another option(I'm running these in my plate but are good all around)
http://v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/Corne...81039-1-2.html

glove and armrest are #74
http://v-leds.com/Interior-LED/Gauge...81071-1-2.html

Those flank's will work, I just don't know how bright they will be. Mine are a little different.


Only thing's to left to really led after that if you want is the trunk(flank),and blinker's(tower's).

edit: blinker's are a size 7443

Once again, thanks for the help. Is there an alternative I can order for the vanity/trunk since the one I linked is out of stock?

funny you ask that ...after reading all these threads, i realized the license plate ones are never even mentioned for domes by other users, and there are much better choices

But, I will say -- they look fantastic -- and are very bright...I have them both in front and rears.

I'd take a pic for ya, but I'm not sure if im able to put up pics yet since I'm a new member.

they are an 18 bulb tower in front and a 12 bulb tower in the rear..(pretty tight fit) There is a 27 bulb tower on his site but I don't know if it'll fit without modification.
