i know the bulb size, but what im concerned about is how deep the map light enclosure is... or does anyone see the ideal red LED for the map?this one may be too long... meaning it would hit the frosted plastic... feel me?

I think they will fit , but don't quoute me. It seems like there's a pretty decent amount of room in there!

I went with these from v-ledhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...photo

I went with the white ones, but they sell the red ones also! Those will definately fit, and they are SUPER bright! Also, no glow at night when the car is off!

But r you really doing the map lights in RED? IMO, the hyper white LED look all around looks so great at night! BUt hey, do your thing Knight Rider...lol

Funny you mention that, when you see me, I'll make sure I wear my shirt, and I'll give you inside information on how I got the name Dr. Feeeellllllgood! lol

In regards to the door, yes, these WILL fit in the door. I have the 6led bulbs in the door, and they fit just fine. However, for the doors, I would recommend bulbs that fire all the way around, like the original ones you posted! Remember, the door's 194 bulbs face towards the front of the car, not out to the side!

looks like the length is 36 mm = 1.41 inyou can pop out your map light cover and measure the length from the bulb base to the cover and see if it will fit or not.
