That site comes in handy for ANY LED need.....I've basically changed out every LED-possible bulb in my car thru them...Great prices too.

Hope that helps...

How bright are you looking for, man? That's the brightest I've seen around...They're pretty damn bright in my car.....

I guess you're looking for some serious street lights in your whip....

I used the 4 led super white led ba9 from that website in my gs front map lights. it's really dim, even the wide angle version. I'm trying to find a 12 led version for the front map light...

I found a 6 LED BA9 LED, which is still going to be dim, IMO.

backseat?? Do you mean the ones over the door? If so than the bulbs in there are 194.

Yes, the map lights in the backseat....there's two lights, one is a courtesy light (194 bulb) and the other is a map light(ba9s)

I replaced the ba9s' with LEDS...I also replaced the 194's with LEDS, I went with the green in my car since the theme was already green (seat belt lights, dash, ignition, head unit) I swapped out all my courtesy lights to green, and changed my Dome light to a super bright WHITE LED...it looks real clean..especially at night..

Call me a ricer if you will...it's the only thing even remotely "rice" in my baby...lol
