Where to get dome light bulbs? Argh!
Hi everyone,
Sorry to bother you guys, but I was wondering where has everyone purchased their dome lights for the C-coupe's map/rear light? I can't find them anywhere! It seems no one carries this size. Also, I have the Polarg M-28 license plate bulbs, has anyone had lense melting problems? Thanks!

i have had a couple m-28 crack on me. both times were in the same car wash. i guess the water pressure was so much that it busted them. no problems ever since i stopped going there. yesterday however, i noticed that both of the license plate lens have melted plastic on the centre of the inside. im pretty sure its the bulbs that melted it because before it was flawless.

I got my bulbs from
Import-Store make SURE you get long bulbs.
I also bent the connectors slightly to "grip" the bulb.

citron, is the red bulb the same as the stock one or is it the size of the license plate one? (both bulbs are the same, only the interior one is a lot bigger).

Why not just get a pair of error free LEDs for the license plate from eBay? Mine looks great! I'm about to take off the dome and rear light covers to reveal what kind of bulb I need and replace it with a white led. Looks like 6k

Our dome lights are 41mm 6418/6411 (I forget which one, but it doesn't matter). You should hit up AZN Optics he sells bulbs specifically for our cars. All of my LEDs in my car are from him, installed with no problems and no errors, and I'm actually about to order some city lights from him tomorrow.

Be careful with ijdm toy. I ordered LEDs for my whole interior and they were not error free. The dome lights would not completely shut off and it stayed at a dim. A lot of people had this problem too. After that I replaced them with AZN optics leds and it worked perfectly.
