I am looking to switch all interior lights, trunk light, and mirror puddle lights to LED.

I am aware I need 194 style led bulbs and I plan on getting them from VLEDs as I have their reverse LEDS and they look great.

So in total I believe I will need:
3x front dome
3x rear dome
2x footwell
2x sunshade
2x mirror puddle lights
1x trunk

=13 style 194 LEDS

My question is does anyone know the best type of 194 to get for each application? For example VLEDs carries different configurations (see picture attached) I believe I read somewhere the puddle lights would work best with flank style bulbs? Not sure about the rest of the interior any opinions? Thanks

Didn't help i already know which company LED's I will purchase I'm looking more for the application of each bulb and how they sit in their respective housings

 

pull em out, put em back in, it's that simple.

 

and if they don't work, pull those out, flip them, put em back in

footwell bulbs are a pain to remove though

Do 2015 350 F Sports even have trunk lights? Mine has never lit up if there is one present. Where is the bracket?

 

Yes, open the trunk at night it should light up, the bulb is located in the upper middle of the trunk

 

Need to look into this then. Definitely nothing lighting up in my trunk.

 

I think the best ones for each are flank in the courtesy, puddle, trunk and footwell lights and 360 in all the bulbs in the overhead. You can always just pop off the covers and check for yourself if you already have the car.

 

Thanks, someone who actually understood the question. I did end up removing all the covers to see which bulbs would work best. Thanks though!

 

Wanna confirm which ones are best for each position for anyone doing a search in the future?

 

Yes I will.

These applications will work best (although it is possible to use 360 style bulbs for all of them, they cost more and don't project the light accordingly)

Front dome- 3x straight down bulbs (or 360 but I think the straight bulbs will project light better)

Rear dome- 3x straight down bulbs (or 360 same as above^)

Footwell- 2x straight down bulbs (1 on each side sit vertically)

Visor mirrors- 2x flank (bulb sits horizontally)

Mirror puddle lights- 2x flank

Door panel lights- 2x flank

Trunk- 1x flank bulb (bulb sits horizontally)

 

Anyone know why my 3is have no footwell lights? Or does it just turn off when I'm driving?

Cause my friends 2is have footwell lights lit even when driving

 

They illuminate when the door is open and will fade off when the door is closed
