3175 bulb only fits in the dome light, not in the trunk, the trunk is a smaller 3022 bulb which i tried to find on ebay well see if this one fits, the glove box don't even bother changing its nearly impossible, and the 74 bulb that would fit in its place is very very tiny, only .5", so just bypass that. ill let everyone know once the other lights that sit next to the big dome light come in and the ones for the trunk, loving the LED's though, they aren't as much a distraction if you like to use them while driving or your passengers are just a pain in the @$$

LED Update
Hi,
Just want to share some pix for my LED dome light. I installed with 15 SMT LEDs at front, and 18 SMT LEDs at rear. It's now super white inside when I hit the unlock and open the doors. I have been using those for over one year without any problems.

Looks good!
Are the RX licence plate lights angled? I wanna change some bulbs but the stock incandescent ones are installed in such a way that they're facing towards the back of the car (i.e. they're relying on light scattered in all directions to illuminate the plate). If i simply swap them with LEDs, they LEDs will be facing the rear of the vehicle and... well the plate won't be illuminated very well.

I had these all done on my old car and sooner or later these cheap led will crap out and it's a pain to replace them not to mention constant consumables so I'm leaving it stock
although I do have quite a few different types of led laying around
