158, 168, 194, they're all the same. They'll fit in the domes, the license plate, the doors and the trunk with no prob. For the trunk though, you'll have to remove the lining to get to them. Just use a flathead and pry-off the retaining clips to get to the bulb. From there all you do is unplug the bulb harness, then twist and pull out. Replace bulb and reverse the procedure.

for the coupes, the 194s WILL NOT fit in the dome light. It will fit in the map lights. For the dome, you would need 36mm 3175's. All the rest interior, trunk, and license plate lights use the 194s.

I know this may sound redundant but can someone who has replaced their interior lights on a coupe just list a breakdown of what bulbs they installed and where (to include the license plate lights and trunk). I'm sure I could hunt down the answer by jumping from thread to thread and forum to forum but it just seems easy for someone who as already done it. Also could you throw a link to the site you purchased from? Thanks.....

Those are all the ones I ordered. Took about 2 weeks to get here.They have different kinds of LEDs. Those were pretty darn bright. I used the red ones on the step light, the others I ordered white LEDs.

Hope this helps!

P.S. I haven't ordered the dome light yet. Waiting to see if they have a red one for the 36mm size. I have a Code Red coupe, hence the red lights.

If you got the 3.5 premium package you should have (HID) xenon headlights. If you did not get that package and want to improve your lighting, look at' Sylvania Silverstar Ultra', I swaped my oem Jeep lights for them and there is about a 20 to 30 percent improvement. You can go on line to Sylvania and see what number bulbs the car uses. The auto store could help too. They will not be as good as HID lights, but will be a big improvement.
