I was wondering if we could compile the sizes of the bulbs needed for all the lights inside the car and how to replace them so we dont need seperate DIY's and many posts

I think its 5 194, 7 LED's for the switches and 1 pack of color difusers

I think there some 74 in there for stuff like Ignition Key color and cigerate lighter and other stuff.

why buy difusers when you can just buy colored bulbs....

I bought my red 194's from Advance the 74's from auto illumination... they've been in for a year and they don't appear to have faded at all...

and I believe the bulb count is off.... the 01-03 gauge cluster uses 2 74's and 4 194's....

cost more and you gotta solder the new leds and i dont have a soldering kit that works and the shifter is 1x 194 bulb

74 bulb IGN Ring
74 bulb Lighter

also on the overhead lights what are those.. would these work? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/194-168-6-LED-Dome-light-Parking-light_W0QQitemZ8007463717QQcategoryZ36476QQrdZ1QQc mdZViewItem

you don't have to soldier anything do use a different color bulb..... just swap the bulb... for the cluster, lighter, ashtray.... HVAC is a different story...

and i didn't use LEDs... I used good ole' incandescant bulbs...

what kind of bulbs bro? links? will leds hook in the same way or will bulbs be easier... also can u still dim these leds with the dimmer and is 4600 pretty bright I want them not to stick out that much its just to make it easier on the eyes

finally found the site.... http://autolumination.com

it issue people originally had wih usiing the LED "bulbs" were that they had hotspots.... or spots that were brighter and darker... the light from standard bulbs will be even....

i don't remember what type of bulbs Keyan used when he replaced the ones in his 05...

Keyan used the reg bulbs,he stated not to use the leds for the simple fact of what you stated above about the hotspots.Also I did the same thing to my 05,and I used the reg bulbs.Just save your money and get the standard bulbs.They look awesome and they cost hella cheaper

just for a heads up, 99% of all the lighting inside the car except for ashtray, cig. lighter, and key ring are 194 (im going for blue for the gauge cluster... later maye.

for the exceptions, i think they are 74s, i havent had a chance to size them. other than that, everything is 194 unless its led

cig lighter blue.. clear white bulb is ashtray... as you can see the cig lighter has a blue difuser on it already but it shows up milk colored outside.. and iv tryed getting the bulbs off both of these and for the life of me I cant is there a special way to pull or some shi

Vampyrate

10-23-2005, 07:50 PM

it should be just like the 194s, just twist and pull. you may hav to work at it though. i know that i had to for the shifter light.

Gun5

10-23-2005, 10:50 PM

got them out when i twisted a bit, now how do i get them back in rofl Iv pushed and turned wont go in

what type of bulb are the overhead lights guys!! the reading ones

Vampyrate

10-23-2005, 11:00 PM

i changed those today, you have to just push them in... they arent gonna fit as snuggly as the the OEM ones, but just push them in and they will be in there firmly. to test if you have them in enough, just turn on the lights on the inside and if they light up, you are good to go

i actually did it in the parking lot of advance auto parts in 5mins after i bought the bulbs.
