Are all of the interior lights 194 bulbs? I'm wanting to replace them with blue lights. And how do I get the dome light off? Just pry?

 

pry with a plastic putty knife, screwdrivers leave gouges, i know this personally

most bulbs are 194, there are like 4 BA9 bulbs for the maps on the front and above the rear doors, i recco a pair of pliers and to close the door when taking them out since the bulbs get hot QUICK.

 

Just dont squeeze too hard with the pliers, then u might crack a bulb and the glass falls out but not the threads, then u cant get them out as hard as you try so u leave the bulb remains in there for months and forget about even changing the bulbs every again.

I recommend wrapping the pliers in electric tape too. protect the bulb.

 

I use a mini screwdriver from snap on and pop off one side at a time as every side has 2 clips and it is a pain to get off.

I replaced all my interior lights with LED's All the bulbs are 194 except the key cylinder and foot well uses a small little bulb , i replaced mine with a varad interior led by wiring it directly . I also use 2 led dome lights tystrapped together to double the output as i had a 9 led festoon bulb but it was from hong Kong and kept having bulbs dieing. So i used the 2 together with one in the clips and the other one pressed against the contacts to light it as well.

I made a thread a while ago with pics.

 

Thanks for the replies. I havent bought them yet because this is KEntucky and finding a parts store that sells anything besides OEM and absolutally rediculous to find, and when you do find it...it's costly. Autozone carries 2 194 bulbs that are blue for $15 each. Thats about $75 in just THOSE bulbs... it would cost near $150 bucks to replace all the lights in the ride...is it worth it?

Anyone have ideas besides ebay...or ebay luck?

Now to trouble you guys once more LOL.

How many 194s does the interior have? 4 of the BA9 right?

for 2LS (95-00)

2 x #74 for footwells
1 x #74 for ignition cylinder (led will need some sanding to fit right)
1 x #74 for glovebox

4 x 194 for doorlights
4 x 194 for rear maplights(on C pillar)+rear door dome lights
2 x 194 for front corner markers
2 x 194 for rear license plate lights
1 x 194 for trunk interior light (do the neon conversion, MUCH better light output than any 194 bulb or LED)

2 x BA9 for front maplights
2 x BA9 for rear maplights

1 x 31mm dome light



hmm, i think that now that i made this il go add it into the UCF20/21 FAQ

 

There is 6 194 for the rear map reading lights.
I agree with a neon as the bulb is badly positioned and cannot be seen. I would mount a neon under teh trunk lid so it shines down as anything high in the trunk in the stock position gets blocked easily..

 

the rear 2 MAP bulbs (right next to the buttons) aer BA9s in my LS. i know because when i popped the cover off to change them i realized i had the wrong bulbs

 

HA HA you got a defective car.
Kidding , mine are all the same bulbs at least they fit fine for me to use the 194's all around.

 

maybe it changed from 98-99

but i clearly recall my 95 being the same way so

 

I guess it takes smaller bulbs ,but i wanted to get the big ones in , and it works.

 

neon conversion??
