okay, sorry for if this is already covered, i've searched and found a couple posts on this, its just that i can't seem to find the exact info that i need. I JUST (as in a week ago) got my 09 altima 2.5s sedan, dark slate and want to replace those crappy interior bulbs with some leds I can't decided if i want just white or all red =D but i'm going to get both and see how i like them.so what i need is just a straight up, list of what bulb number i will need. and whats the diff between map and dome lights. I plan on replacing all the interior lights, oviously the license plate will just be white. Thanks for all the help guys.

This is what i've been able to get so far:

Dome:http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Con...45238

Courtesy/step light:http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Con...45238

Map:http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Con...45238

License plate:http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Con...45238

what i dont get is, the dome and map, those type of lights, there really no where in my car, i can pull out the lights i have and take a pic if you guys dont get what im saying...

Those are all correct (check the bulb sticky)..

The "map light" though, where is that you are talking about?

okay so i just took all the bulbs out and this is what i came up with.i have 2 above my head, 1 on each door, and 1 above each seat in the back. so 6 all together, plus the license plate ones, which i didn't check, but i guess you just need those 2 back there correct?So, i basically need 6 bulbs that are all the same, that look like this:

Ya I want to see the pics of your LEDs (both door, map, dome and footwells)I still haven't put my rear footwell lights on because I have someone in the back some of the time and people don't know how to be careful in my car.

My rear floor mats are torn to pieces

I have a 30in wide screen monitor the pics are still big, size of monitor has nothing to do with the photos still being large.

but uploading 1024px × 768px photos =

simply scaling them down to a smaller size would be more efficient...

Whats the quality like in person with your license plate lights? They look a little blue in the picture.. Im about to buy a pair but i would like them to be similar in color to say a bmw or lexus.

The light sure does light up a lot of the plate
