    Go to superbrightleds.com but beware, if you do a search for your vehicle it'll give you different bulb options but none of the listed dome lights will actually fit. They're to short. It recommends the 3022x4 but this is the one you want http://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/festoon-series-bulbs/3910-led-bulb-6-led-festoon/235/

    For license plate lights I went with

    You need 1 bulb for each map light and one festoon style led for the dome light.

    Map lights: be cafeful when taking out your lenses. Dont pry to hard on the corners because you will either damage the lense or the surface around it. If you have big fingers, you will definitely have a hard time taking out the bulbs. What i did was i simply got some tape, wrapped the bulbs and gently pulled to release.:D

    Aloha

    I second that. I used my pocket knife to pry on the corner but its sketchy because its easy to scratch. Did it multiple times and no blimishes.

    Cool. When I took off the cover I had to think to myself, "how in the world do I pull out the bulb?" I googled around and found a video on YouTube and some guy used paint tape to grip the bulb. Guy on the video said some guys who use tape still had problems. For me It worked like a champ.

    That looks great! Are the maps blinding if you need to throw them on while driving or not so bad?

    They are definitely brighter than the old yellow ones but not to a point where its killing my eyes. I'd say they are worth it as when I'm looking for something I can find it quicker.
