Consider the wattage (heat discharge) of any replacement bulb... too much additional wattage may melt the clear plastic covers. Dye the originals if your looking for color.

Exclamation bulbs

Thanks Tammy ! i did buy colored bulbs in Advanced Auto parts.
i saw the bulb model # thread and got the right ones....i could not find the map light though.
i tried the see model no on the existing one, it didn't have anything written on the bulb and also the clamps holding the bulb are flimsy, they might break next time i have to change...any sugesstions.
