i followed matt rn's post and bought and replaced all my interior bulbs w/ led ones. super easy task, took me no more than 15-20 mins to do every bulb

will attempt the side mirror ones soon!

All the interior bulbs should be very easy. I think the side mirror one is the hardest. I worry that i will break the mirror.....

side mirrors done! piece of cake! 1 thing i would advise is ... when pulling the mirrors, use gradual force ... no sudden or hard yanks. and try to grasp the mirror w/ even pressure ... that should help prevent a crack

Nice. Thank you. By the way, is that a 5SMD? Can it fit for 8SMD or more?

I would like to know this as well. Is the housing large enough to support a 9smd like this

it is a 5 smd. i have never seen a 9 smd in person so its hard for me to judge if it can or cannot fit. the housing had no trouble fitting the 5 smd, im guessing the 9 smg is marginally larger and shoudl fit just fine. (the 5 smd is already super bright, i cant imagine a need for a 9 smd, lol)
