Out of the links I got from all the threads I read on here for LED's, can someone tell me which 194 LED's are the best to get for the Tags, Dome, and Doors without any fitment issues?

I got a few of these white VLED leds for sale. I have the 11 smt led and 5 smt led types. I bought these from VLed.com. I'll take some pictures of them if you are interested.

fits doors with no problems, but A/C map light uses different bulb size. I believe DE3175(?)..

The two map lights use 194 while the dome light in the back uses DE3175/3022

So on the bulb fitment post it says the A/C map lights are a 578 so is it a 578 or a 194?? I'm lost.. I want to upgrade my Map lights and dome light. the dome is the DE3175 I believe. But I'm still confused on the Map lights.

Yeah, there's many cross reference numbers for these bulbs. Here's a helpful guide. 578 is a 194 type fitment even though it's not listed there, trust us :D.

Thanks.. Looking at that guide I see a 558 but not the 578.. and when I look at the pic of a 578 it looks different than the 194. I trust you guys I just dont want to spend 10 bucks on bulbs I cant use

Most 3 digit bulb numbers are a 194 fitment, but the most safe way is to actually open and check your car for yourself is which I did before buying any bulbs basing on the manual or elsewhere. If you buy from v-leds, type in CLUBLEX in the coupon area for 10% off during checkout.

Awesome! Thanks for your help.. I work at a Mazda dealership so I called my local A/M supplier and had him check to look at what it looked like.. the 578 is a fuse style light.. Thanks for the Discount code.!
