Whats up everyone. I've been wanting to change out the inside lights which would consist of the step lights, the front and back map lights to nice white, not too bright led's. but the bulb number for the map lights in the manual , which is listed as B5, I can't find anywhere.

Any ideas what bulbs would fit for the map lights?

This is for the 2010 altima coupe btw.

Thank you

I second this post.. I have a 2010 Sedan and would like to change the same lights but cannot find the parts#'s anywhere online.. I searched Nico but have gotten confused.

I am pretty sure:
Trunk: 194 158 168
Plate: SMT 5
Front map: ??
Rear map: ??
Front door: ??

Thanks so much fellas

that is correct. the trunk is 194 along with a lot of the other lights. i went to superbrightleds.com and bought mine there. these are the ones i purchased. you could go to the same site if you wanted to, and just get a different color.
You can see pictures of my lights installed here on my CarDomain page. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3359939/3

this one was for the rear dome light
Quantity: 1
Product: 3022-x4 LED Festoon bulb
Options: Blue 3022-B4

these were for the front map lights
Quantity: 2
Product: WLED-xHP6 Wedge Base Bulb
Options: Blue WLED-BHP6

and these were for the courtesy door lights & 1 for trunk light.
Quantity: 3
Product: WLED-x4 LED bulb
Options: Blue WLED-B4


as for the trunk, idk. I still have my stock bulb. but i'm sure other members will chime in soon.

http://www.v-leds.com is another good place to get the bulbs

trunk, license plate, map, and courtesy lights are all 194 bulbs (I would consider getting an LED strip for the trunk if you really need some light in there though)

dome light is a 175 bulb (DE3175 on v-leds.com)

for the vanity lights, just go to v-leds.com > interior LED > vanity LED and those are the bulbs that fit

v-leds also has a bulb for the glove box, but last i checked it's out of stock (and does anyone really need to change that bulb anyways?)

So just to clarify before I place my order with v-led

There are: (in a 2010 sedan)

2 map lights(front), 2 dome lights(rear) and each of those gets 1 bulb
2 vanity(visors) get 2 bulb each
Trunk & plate get 1 bulb each
Glovebox gets 1 bulb

Now the courtesy lights are 1 bulb for each front door?

Did I miss anything? THanks

hmm.. i have an 08 coupe and the plate get's 2 bulbs. i think the sedan would be the same. not positive though.
also, i'm not sure if sedans have the same dome light as the coupe, but i only needed one bulb for it.
and yes, the courtesy lights are 1 bulb for each door. everything else is correct.

.for the trunk light, do i have to get a switch or just replace the trunk bulb w/ the LED strip?

you don't need a switch. just get an LED strip (http://www.oznium.com has a good selection) and then an adapter to fit into the factory location: http://www.oznium.com/dummy-bulbs
