does anyone know the size of the rear license plate bulbs? I want to switch them to 6k v-led to match the rest of my lights. I know, it's nuts.

This site doesn't list it.

chi123 did manage to change the LEDs but believe it is not easy to do because it was not designed to be replaced.

I looked up Sylvania's guide and it did say 168. I got excited to make it whiter and brighter so I went ahead and took apart the trunk only to find out there is no bulb inside. But I did install new LEDs in the end.

If you are looking for any other fitments check out our all new "Shop By Vehicle" tool. It list the various lightbulbs that the vehicle uses.

Sorry, i'm such a noob. For the Puddle Light, which JLC LED bulbs should i get since the V-LEDS needs dremeling to fit? From what Sango stated, the 5-SMD, I was unable to locate them on their website.

-JLC LEDs fits right in, correct?

Here are some pictures of the High power Putco T10 / 194 led bulb:

This bulb uses a high quality Nichia LED diode that is rated at approx 90 lumens.

I was advised that they do fit, but with the continuous use they can get run too hot and risk premature burnout.

After reading the comparisions, I thought I would go with a decent 360 degree SMD LED bulb. Giving these a whirl for $5.98 shipped:
