I did and they sent correct bulbs though. On the reverse you can use the 194. That's what I have. It just sites in there a little bit deeper but no big deal. And the ones that didn't work did you try and reverse it?

what kind of LEDs have people been using for their door lights and vanity lights(visors) ????

for the door lights im getting blue to match my interior, but i can seem to get a bulb that will make it engulf the casing with blue.. even the 5-led refractor only lights up half the casing.

for the vanity lights.. the 5-led refractors are able to fully light up the casing, but its nowhere as bright as the oem bulbs were... anyone got any ideas???

they will fit in the vanity lights but for the doors.. you would have to do some bending or something.. i cant recall but i did fit some 9 SMT led in the doors so i think you can fit the five smt in there with some metal bending too lol they are BRIGHT but i dont know if it would put a good output for the doors considering how the SMT lights point in 5 different directions.. you might just havea small bright dot but surely the output will fill up the whole lense lol the newer smt bulbs are great i used 2 31 mm festoon bulbs for the rear dome and the lighting output is just as good as stock but with a nicer bluish whitish color!

GOod lord, I read through every single pages of this thread. There's so much information to remember here. It would be nice if the OP or someone write a summary of which bulb is best for which. A pro/con, where to get it, for every bulbs would be nice also. This way it would be so much easier for someone who want to do the lighting mods to follow. The summary of all the bulbs updated to the first page of this thread would nice also. The noobs like me won't have to read through every pages and having a hard time debating on which one to get because every bulbs is on a different page. Thank you all for your contributions.
