haven't replaced the rear dome yet. hopefully, it'll won't put up a fight to get opened=]
there should be plenty of festoon-type LEDs on Ebay. but with so many diff types, it's hard to pick one. i'm just gonna head to Chinatown or Alhambra-area and pick one up..

Do let me know if the one you get is as white as the warm white LEDs - 4300K .

Can anyone provide any insight on which LED lights to use. I am aware that the size is 194 or 168, but its hard to pick the right ones. I would like to change all of the interior lights to LED. Thanks!
Here is the site...

click on the product link and check the V-LEDS Part ID, if it starts with 194 you're good.
however, you should stick with the design/shape that's of the typical 194 bulbs - i.e., don't pick an led that's too big or has like 198528 leds on them.

Do you have any pics or info on the bulbs that you are using? I wanna change them all out to LED, but I don't wanna waste money on bulbs that won't fit. I too am looking for that bright look. Thanks!

Sliding the credit card easily separated the front dome from its latch. Try it and you will know what I mean.

Rear dome light cover removal
Thanks for posting that DIY, I couldnt figure out how to remove that rear dome light cover. Do you know where I can find a blue bulb for the rear dome light? I bought some off of E-bay but they look different. They fit in the front dome light, but by the looks of the rear light, it looks kinda like a fuse?? Didnt get one that looks like that. Thanks for your post.

Polarg M28 festoon
I remember seeing several posts before regarding the Polarg M28 festoons. Try searching for Polarg M28 to find previous posts.

I ordered M28 Festoon Bulbs for my w204 and they are too small... They aren't long enough, I need them to be another 1/2" longer. Does anyone have any idea what the Polarg bulb is for the rear seat dome light?
