puddle/door handle/interior lights sizes and install instructions?
looking to put LEDs in my outside puddle lights under the side mirrors and perhaps the doorhandles...also would like to swap out the interior dome lights and perhaps some of the other lights like the ones that light your lower legs and/or the small ones shining down on the shifter.
anybody know all the sizes of those or where i can find them? also is there a place with install instructions or does anyone have advice?
thanks.

Just do a search for LEDs bulbs. Four in the door and the 2 for the side view mirrors are T10 bulbs. I put led boards in the trunk and rear light. The front map light takes 2 more T10 bulbs.

Also no need to upgrade the lights by your feet in the front. Just remove the orange bulb covers. The bulb is already an led.
One of the best mods I could have done on the car. I love my white LEDs

Heres the video on how to remove the glass from the side mirrors to get to the puddle light. Once removed, there are 4 screws and the back part of the housing comes off. Pretty straight foreward after that. I replaced all of my interior LEDs, puddle lights, Nike lights, and trunk lights with T10s. The rear seat overhead light was a little different. I went to the local autopart store and they had a 16 LED universal festoon kit.

so basically they're mostly T10 wedge lights?
I'm doing an HID order from DDM so I'll just add some to the order.
thanks for the replies.
EDIT: seems like there are several bulb style candidates on the DDM website. can anybody who's done the swap recommend which they'd use? also can anyone recommend which festoon would fit for the rear?

The one that I went with is similar to the one below. The only difference was that it came with different size buld adapters and not a spring loaded one. They all plug into the LED panel depending on the size you need. As far as the LED in the interior, I went with some called "dashboard lights" that a buddy of mines had also ordered because they werent bright. They just give a nice soft white glow to the interior. I put them in all of the doors and the 2 on the roof.
