Replacing all lights with L.E.D's???

Hey guys! This is my first post on the forums after doing a lot of reading and I decided that my fit mod would be to replace all interior lights and the license plate lights with L.E.D's. I have a few questions before I order them.

What brands are the best?

What sizes will I need to have to have to replace the
Dome
Glove box
Reading
Backseat
Door
Trunk
License plate

(am I missing any?)


Any information on doing this or answering my questions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

i guess you could try to replace the ones when you flip the sun visor, unless thats covered in your list already

but thats overkill

I've been thinking about the same thing but I might just buy these as they are very cheap. I am still looking for the trunk light and the glove box.

Hope this helps!

No problem, I don't really like the blue ones either on the interior but I really like the blue license plate bulbs

I'll Make sure to keep you guys updated... I can't believe no one has done this yet. I hope somebody can give us a little advice on which lights to buy. Does any one have the bulb sizes for all the interior lights and license plate bulbs? I'm thinking about replacing the fog lights with LEDs along with the parking lights so they match the xenons better.

Thanks!

just make sure they are error free with the seller. i swapped out my license plate lights and they would flicker and an error message would show up every time. best of luck and let us now how they turn out.

yeah. for some reason that was the only errors i got with lights on my car. aside from the halogens to xenon swap. but the turn signals, fog lights, and parking lights never gave me an error. i want to do the same and swap out my lights with white led's inside/out as well.
