so then the...

3056 goes ??????? might be front turn signal, but i didnt see it on the website

194 goes side markers (2 ), doors(4), footwell (2 front), licence plate(2 rear), Glove Box (1)

921 goes only on High stop lights (Qty i belive is 5) not sure on that

DE3175 ??????? might be 3610 LED Festoon bulb

T10BA9S goes to the rear 2 passenger map lights , BA9 on the website

DE3022 goes is the Door courtesy light , so we use the (3022-4 LED Festoon bulb)

 

There are two kinds of LEDs...

Bullet or Inverted side light...

which ones did you all get and how do they look?

 

I just did this mod and here is the list of lights you need and the corresponding ones on the superbrightleds.com web site.

Here is the direct link

2 #74 bulbs for your front foot wells.



8 194 bulbs for your license plate (2), doors (4), rear passenger roof lights (2). I happened to go with the 5 LEDs integrated into one 194 fitting, you can probably get a 194 fitting with more LEDs on it but I was worried about throwing off the resistance so I didn't go bonkers with the 4,000 LED bulbs.



1 30x10mm festoon bulb. I picked up the 9 LED fitting just because I wanted it bright.



2 BA9 bulbs for the front overhead lights in the center console.

These are located on a different page in the site. You can find them here.

Overall, the light swap took about $50 bucks, 30 minutes, a flathead screwdriver to pry open the light panels, and a pair of pliers (to pull out the hot lightbulbs).

GOOD LUCK!


Clifford

 

Which one is the festoon bulb for?

 

Festoon is for the dome light on the sunroof control console.

The two smaller map light up there are the BA9 bulbs

 

How bright are the LED intensity for the BA9s and festoon bulbs? Do you have any pictures of all of your bulbs? thanks.

John

 

Don't forget another 194/M4 bulb for the trunk light.....this is one of my favorite replacements.

 

actually i prefer using the cheap neon/ccfl kits u can get for <$15.

do a search for neon trunk in this forum. LOTS more light than any bulb
