Everything is easy except the cluster lights dash.
Map: Ba9
Dome: 3175
Door: 194
Vanity: vanity LEDs
Trunk:194
Glove: 37 (it's a hit or miss)
That's easy and cheap

yeah, the cluster change was pretty easy and straight forward...
i did mine recently, but can't seem to find the smaller bulbs (low RPM and gas meter)...

Yea man...go super whites. My 350 has super whites stock, wish the 300 didn't have orange. 300 went from 6k to 5k...much better with 5k. I put some clear lens on the doors...got rid of that red lens. Swapped in some 5ks and good to go...

yea that's wat I was thinking cause the red wouldn't look that good inside but white would def look good and offset the black car nicely any links for the bulbs or anything?

Hey guys, if you guys cannot find #24 LEDs, you guys can find them in here, these are better quality LEDs. I bought a pair of red #194 LEDs for my side markers and they are really good quality but a little more expensive than in autolumination.

Yup Yup...got VLEDS in my whole 300. Working on the 350 to change to VLEDS. Very very good brand. Thinking of getting the V3 Tritons...kinda pricy but well worth it with life time Warrenty...no other brands offer life time Warenty...

I changed most of the lights in my car to white LEDs, currently working on the radio... which is a big pain.

I did both courtesy lights, glove box, trunk, done/map lights, cluster, center console, ignition, transmission, and TRAC off for no reason lol. Still have radio and window switches.

Hope you didn't have any trouble getting it done, ebay has some decent bulbs... you'd be surprised.
