Yeah, I dunno what to order for the trunk. I installed all the other lights (mirror, vanity, front dome, rear dome, and even my back up lights) and it took a little over an hour just because it was hot in the garage. But everything looks great, just gotta figure out what the trunk bulb is. according to the light numbers, its a de3022 and the ones from v-leds are supposed to fit that as well but I didnt try. I wasn't sure how to get to the trunk light and since i didn't have the bulb i didn't try.
So can someone please help me with where to get the festoon trunk bulb as well as how to get to the trunk light? Thanks ahead of time.

Try to put it in with the festoon LED you used for the back dome light and see if it works.

hmm... well theres another bulb on the v-leds site that supposedly is a 3022. from the picture i can't tell if its a bit smaller than the other one. here are the two different ones.

The first one is the one I used for my rear dome lights. Where did you get your LED for your rear domes?

My LED lights should be in tomorrow and I'll be changing the bulbs under my mirrors and the dome bulbs. What about the small LED light that stays on at night right behind the front dome light.....can that bulb be replaced with one that's just a little bit brighter? I think it would look awesome if it could!!

i'll take the other one if you want to donate
Just FYI, when doing the front dome light, pull down on the end CLOSEST to you. I was doing the end closest to the windshiled (where the screws are) and almost ripped my cover off =/ The other side has 2 spike clips on it that will easily pull out.
Refractors will NOT fit into the front domes... so i ended up using the big bulb LEDS, but now i ahve 3 really bright spots on my dome light and it looks really tacky =/
anyone else have this problem? what did you guys end up using?

hmm... i fit in refractors in my front dome, its just that i ended up using high power ones instead because they were brighter. what kind of bulbs did you use? i used the 5 led refractors from www.v-leds.com
