Yeah way expensive, go with V-led or superbrightleds.com those are both cheaper. By the way, if you go with those bulbs, they will emit some very dim light even when they're off. If you want bulbs that go completely off, you need to get SMT bulbs, (surface mounted) like this one:http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Con...38235

Those are probably the best you can get IMO. But you say "for the 2 dome lights". Just so you know, you only have 1 bulb for the rear dome light, the front dome/map lights have 2 bulbs, 1 for each side.

Edit: oh, and the front dome/maps are 194 type bulb

Which lights are you replacing with those bulbs? I'd only recommend Flank bulbs for the courtesey door lights.

i have 5 smt leds. all around. and i love the way they look. you dont really need flank bulbs. but they would shine all the light outward.

Those are the ones i orderd and those are the ones that are in these pictures, they come up as blue thou when u take pictures of them i think because of the UV lights it emits but i am still unsure to the exact reason.

YESIR, its one of the most easiest mod ever, all u do is pull the light housing out and its easy to do that just dont pull too hard because u dont wanna yank the housing out because that will just suck haha, but yea only took 3 minutes to do, and it took 2 days for v-leds to get them out to me, remember thou these specific ones are purple in person but blue in the picture.

Looking to change the "ambient" light between the Map lights in my A/C. Anyone know what LED replacement works best. I'm looking for a brighter light for night driving. Not white, brighter orange would be fine, or even red.
