So are all these bulbs the same kind? Give us the low down, like a link with what bulbs for which area's. I'm still not sure what bulbs go in what area's or if they are all the same. What do I order? . Great pics btw!!

rnbrad, i know how you feel. i was having the same issue a little while back and made a thread for it but didn't come up with any good answers. however, with phml's help, i think i have everything down and he's one heck of a guy. here is a the list and let me know if you have any other questions. hope i'll have some answers for you. if not, i'm sure phml will.
41mm or 42mm festoon for rear doom.
error free 194 for side mirrors and license plate.
regular 194 for everything else except glove box as it only shines on one side.
you can get everything from ebay.

only rear license plate need to be error free. the side mirror can be regular 194...no sensors there, so it won't throw a "lamp out" signal on your console.

With that said, there are varying types of 194/168....some are 180 degree, while some are 90 degree. Open up your existing to see what type you need for where. You're going to need to remove them anyways, so why not try doing so now.
Good luck.

All the LEDs are 194/168 type...the exception is the rear dome...which is a festoon type.

Remove the trunk lid liner...that should give you some space to swap out the bulbs to LEDs.

I genuinely think that for the interior, the normal stock lighting looks much better and easier on your eyes than the white LEDs. As for the license lights, yes those should be white! Anybody think the same about the interior?
