This is the link to Sylvania's automotive bulbs.... you'll need to enter your year make model info...but it's probably a 37 or 74 if you're referring to the ones in the footwell areas.

it's a tiny **** bulb, don't know what the part number is. actually i don't remember if it even came out...but what i did was buy 2 of the universal led kits from pepboys and splice into the wiring to the foot area lights. it wasn't the cheapest way of doing it i'm sure, but it works well.

Bulb fitment: 74
Look up eBay#: 110430624609 (or anything similar
I found them to be bright and very white.
The fitment wasn't perfect,
but all i had to do was sand down the sides.

I'd order 3, 2 for each foot rest and 1 for inside the glove box.

I just installed LEDs that I bought frm eBay. I did the two map lights, the trunk lights, the two door lights and the license plate lights. It really is a huge improvement. The lights I got are brighter and whiter, but not too much so that they become obnoxious.

I recommend switching out the stock lights for LEDs.

Mandy,

I did this for Kristi's car already as well. I did both dome/map lights, door lights, trunk lights, and foot well(still waiting for in the mail).. All mine came from China from different sellers and they look great!

It's a BIG difference and I would highly recommend it..

Just do a search on 'SC430 LED dome'

Most of what you will find will be nine or twelve led modules with three connectors.

My suggestion is to stick with nine led lights for the map/dome lights, but go with twelve for the trunk lights. Everything used the same type of connector except the map lights.

You can also get various colts based on your prefs from yellow to white to blue.

I replaced my cabin filter yesterday and just found out my glove box light is not working. Bulb seems to be ok, checked it with my ohmeter. I checked the voltage across the connector, it is only giving me 0.18 volts when the switch is on...what's up with that? Should be 12V.

Needless to say was disappointed, thought was going to upgrade to LED's.
