You'll need 194/168 bulbs for the courtesy lights.

Edit: would've been faster, but I was distracted by a phone call while replying.

The superwhite looks so much better around Key ignition light. THis is a great cheap mod, and it only took a few seconds. Couldnt get any better

wouldn't it look funny with a superwhite bulb in the key hole and everything else stock?

Chuck:
Pretty much no matter what you put in there it's OK with the rest of the dash. It might look multi-color for a second, but once you get in and close the doors all the courtesy lights go away. I did mine all in blue LED, and it's really cool when they all fade out and it's back to stock. Prevents things from getting too ricey too. If you do superwhite dome light, door & footwell, the matching key ring will look good.

I changed out my footwell lights to the same led as the keyhole light and I have the polargs in the bottom of all four doors. Yes it might look funny if I didnt do the rest of these lights

Default glove box doesn't fit

ok so i ordered the #74's and installed them. they look great at night. Only the glove box left, it seems that LED doesn't fit. Anyone else have this problem? or am i using the wrong LED?

Default loose LED

hmm i will try that later on... but mines feels like it doesn't go down far enough because the LED seems to big. So you put it on loose and put the cover back on to hold it in place?

I would like to replace all of my interior lights (door panels, dome light, ignition light, map light, footwell lights, etc. ) with super bright LEDs that are bright, bright white. Can anyone tell me the model or size of my lights and what model LED would replace each? Also where can I find a source to buy these? Thank you very much for your help.
