It definitely looks awesome Sean!

I also want to know which specific LED bulb you got and from where.

Those #74 LEDs with the twist lock base are the ones i'm wondering about if they could replace the bulbs behind the stereo and a/c unit. Has anyone done this?

Well it said 74 so i bought it. It was at the bottom of the page on the website.. I ordered last night and they shipped it out today..

Yes shiiping was 5.00.

Here's the link to one i ordered.. Its the very bottom light...

I purchased all of my LED's from superbrightleds.com, the transaction was smooth, no problem what so ever. I'm pretty happy with them, although I am interested in a dome light that is a little brighter. How hard is it to replace the A/C and stereo lights?

I should be getting my footwell lights either today or monday.. This is my first transaction with them and they shipped it out the next day.. I think the stereo lights and A/c lights would look good.. I'm sure there pretty small like the #74's.. Keep us posted if you find anything..

I'm one of those guys.... the things you can do with a dremel tool.. The rear has 24 LED's on each side.



I'm about to re-do my front domelights/map lights over.. They are LED's right now but their not bright enough. I'll keep you posted on what i do..I see 48 LED's going in

The ignition/footwell/shift are all #74. These

The LED unit pictured above has only 24 LED's. How did you get 48 in there Gsoup? Did you put in two of those units?

He has 24 LEDs in the rear. He is contemplating 48 LEDs in front.

Hi, I've taken out the head unit several times to change out the original bulbs. It's a pretty easy process but you just gotta be careful not to strip the cable in the stereo system. It's a very small bulb. The closest LED on superbrightleds.com would be the twist lock base with #74 bulb but from my measurements compared to the measurements that they've posted, our original bulbs are a bit smaller in width, and height. If anyone has bought any of these LEDs can you confirm if it fits right. I'm afraid that the back end of it will stick out too far and the bulb might not fit through the original holes.

Just installed the footwell lights and doors.. It really is a nice change from stock.. The #74 lights seemed like they almost didn't fit? but they were able to stay in the socket so its all good.

Any ideas for the map lights besides the polarg M-17's?
