Throughout this thread, there is some pictures.

All the bulb changing process is very easy. A monkey can do it. I'm not saying that to insult you, but that's just how easy it is.

If you are stuck on like..removing a piece, let us know which piece?

I looked because I like the purple, but then everythin would look funny in your car, espically people, because light colors glow so peoples makeup and clothing would be glowing ;x the purple light would be kinda cool though

Great thread, but a bit confusing. Can we just go over which are the proper bulbs to get.

Front Dome: 3x 194 bulbs or 2pkgs of these
Door Lights: 2x 194 bulbs / 1pkg of the above
Vanity Lights: 2x 194 / 1pkg of the above
Puddle: 2x 194 / 1pkg of the above or these
Rear dome: 2 bulbs of these
Trunk: 1 bulb of the above
Backup: 2x 921 bulbs / 1pkg of these

Thanks

it's so dumb they designed it that way, they could of use the same brackets as the rear dome lights and just turned it into a switch instead of those crappy one

I have a much easier question. How to you get to the fog lights. It looks like you have to remove the fender liners,,,

Thanks

The footwell lighting is a single LED, it's exactly the same one used in your center console.

For the fogs, there is a small cover with two clips holding it on the driver side which gives you access to it. But passenger side, you gotta pull back the fender liner.

I bought a smaller size of the regular white festoon bulb. I beleive it is 28 mm long. It looks just fine. If I remember correctly I bought the bulb from racinglab.com. Not sure if it is right. I'll try to find that festoon bulb again.
Here ya go.

I believe this is the festoon bulb that I have in the trunk.....
