Default help w/bulb sizes

i'm trying to replace some of my bulbs w/led's. i went to the sylvania bulb guide site and got some model #'s. i like to order from this place: superbrightleds.com

the bulbs i need but can't find the equivalent to are:

Rear Turn Signals - 7507

Glove Box - 37

Dome Light - DE3175

if anyone could take a look or happens to know the cross-reference model #'s it would be much appreciated. thanks.

Glove box - 74 Wedge
Dome - Festoon 3022 - 10x30mm

I don't know about your turn signal, but the glove box and dome are the same for my car and i've replace the interior lights with those...

Hope this helps.

Did you look into this?
There are some things you should know about replacing these with LEDs...


Dome Lights: 3022-x9 LED Festoon bulb (kinda weak compared to wedge based LED bulbs)

Rear Turn Signals: You use the 1157 type bulb, and cut off one of the little bump from the base. (it will blink like one of your bulb is out. get a load resistor to fix it)

Glove Box: 74 type bulbs. They got twist and lock, and wedge style. Check and make sure.


All of them are in this section:

I agree, do not get blue... i got 1 blue one just to see how it will look... a mistake...

LED's are directional... so most of my interior are Polargs... with some of them LED's because Polarg doens't make some of the types...

True, but white is the way to go though... I think i have to buy some more LED's to replace the ones i bought for blue... and i totally forgot that there was a wedge in the glove and a wedge in the trunk...

Yeah, I got white ones on the Rx330, and I was soo ticked that they are brighter and better than the one on the IS. Probably won't replace them til they burn out though... (never use them)

Wedge in the trunk is a different size than the one in the glove box. Well at least for us it is...

does anyone know about the bulb size for the front map lights.

I have been checking at http://stores.ebay.com/MotoringMax for the LED replacement bulbs for the interior lights, but seems can't find the correct bulb size for the front map lights.

I have already got the JDM D2R 6000K HID bulbs from this guy, so cool..........highly recommended
