Default List of bulbs to do a full LED swap out on the interior / trunk lighting?

Does anyone have one? Amazon links would be great and make it easy on other members going forward.

buy these for the interior dome/map lights and door lights, way better than a bulb swap

Anyone do any color changes? Blue / Red / Amber to their interior lights? If so, where did you get them from? I like a more cool blue for the over head, dome and map, lights and a deeper blue for the footwell and courtesy step lights.

superbrightleds has some crazy bulb replacements, up to 19 SMD LED's on a single bulb! How bright are you guys going and these things are pretty pricey! $12+/bulb...

JDMStore is pretty good. Their shipping is fast and I never had any problems with them. They're also on Ebay! Ordering a kit in blue soon

I usually get my LEDs from superbrightLEDs.com; they even list the lumens for different bulbs so you know how bright the LEDs are. They are very reasonably priced too.

Default Map/Dome light IS250 F Sport replacement/change

Today, I have changed the base dome light for LED. It's not easy pulling the dome light-housing out of the roof. You need to remove 2 screws in the sunglass holder and than you need to pull the other side (closest to you) down to release the two white clips, as seen in the pictures. The clips stayed in the roof connector so I had to take them out and slide them both back in the light-housing unit to reinstall. I hope this makes sense. Also, I am replacing the rear ones tomorrow.

you dont need to pull out the light housing for the 3IS, all you do is pop off a lens. You have to in the 2IS
