Hi, i'm looking to do a convertion of all my interior light for led. The only problem is that i don't find size of bulb ( vanity mirror, dome (front and middle) trunk. and glove box.

The DIY threat's not working... and didnt find the info in search engine.

tanks for your help !|

hmm i found a few LED in the search engine but they are all over the place. i know 01LEXPL had posted with pics. Thats how i followed but i cannot seem to find his thread.
anyways i found a few:

Courtesy Light Driver Door / Front Passenger Door/and license plate - #194 x 2 or T10 type bulb
Dome Light - #DE3175 x 1 or 31mm festoon type bulb. I installed panel type with 9LED
Reading map light : 42mm festoon type bulb. Now a 36 mm will also fit. Mine is like that.
Glove box : 74 LED type bulb
Trunk - I believe also 31 mm
Vanity mirror is i think 29mm festoon LED type.

these are all top of my head so i may be off. i got my from amazon.
A side note for interior you want a pure white LED because many sellers advertise as "white" but when you install them it has a blueish hue to it and some people dont like it so i went with canbus/error free LED. They are 100% white but they are a bit expensive sometimes.

My pics are long gone, and i didn't feel like taking new ones & re-uploading them, as it was tedious. Sorry!

Doors, 194
Shifter/keyring/glove - 74
Dome, DE3175 i used a 'universal' smd panel
Reading [front light] fat 42mm or the cheaper 36mm [and more common] when you bend the prongs to fit it i used one with 12small smd leds
Trunk 31mm but i fit a panel
Vanity in the 00-01 is 2X 31mm however the pre-00 had only one bulb and i don't know the size, must be a 31mm as well, except one

Plates 194

All of these are listed in your owners manual towards the end. Every single bulb in the car is there.

silly question. there are no real "Savings" in terms of energy/fuel/power use right? these are just really for the 'look' so to speak?

^ yes, no 'gains' from this but better output, with my old ones i could barely see anything. You won't find any stupid blue/red/green in my car... I did it for function and it works all the time when i drop stuff between the seat & console.

Also don't forget that you'll probably never have to change a burnet out bulb again.

Not necessarily true about not changing a burnt out bulb. The LED replacements are probably rated for around 12v only. Any higher will definitely shorten their lifespan. Unfortunately, our cars tend to run above 12v when measured while the car is running. I would suggest either living with the understanding that you'll eventually have to change it again OR adding a 12v Sharp regulator to it to ensure a super long life
