Got some NEW LED'S put in they look really good its kinda bright outside in these pictures so they actually look alot brighter in the dark. The trunk is blue and it looks awesome at night. Overall it took me only like 20 min to install all these lights its pretty easy once you learn how I was surprised.

where did you buy the bulbs and can you tell me the sizes needed for it?also, how did you learn how to do it??-by any chance would you know the sizes of bulbs to change the rest of the interior lights (map lights, driver and passenger mirror lights, middle of the car light on the roof.)

yeah your not getting something... the bulbs for the interior... if you bothered to look down that thread a bit farther, you would find the bulb numbers..

I know it may be annoying, but you will find all the questions you have; have probably been answered...

Its ok though, the person who started this thread can tell you how much reading helps!

TELL EM DWYT!

ebay is where most of us got them... vled is the seller... get the 9 bulb 194s for the map, a festoon for the rear, side firing for the doors, and more downfiring ones for the license.

Lol litteraly a week ago me and LongBeachCoupe went throught he same thing and he is right you do have to read a bit more. But sometimes it is just easier to have someone answer it. If you want the exact same bulbs I got then you can orden them from V-leds and the links for the bulbs are...

http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Con...32481

-These are BLUE and they fit in your Trunk light they look really good

http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Con...32481

-these are for the License plate they dont take too long to Instal maby five mins I will explain how These are BRIGHT WHITE leds they look good!!!

http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Con...32481

-these are for the lights on the doors take like 30 seconds to Install, they are also bright white LEDs

INFO-if you want differnt colors find the same bulb in a differnt color on the site-make sure when you install if the bulb doesnt Light up then flip it around it may not be inserted correctly-Lastly when checking to see if the Licence plate bulbs work make sure to turn your lights on lol

How to Install

Trunk light- simpliy pull on the small clip and it will expose the bulb take the old one out and insert the new one

Door lights- pull on the top of the plastic cover and pop it out, it will feel like its gonna break when you pull on it but it is actually desinged to pop out like that. you can also use a screwdriver

License plate- this is really easy it sounds like your taking your car apart but its simple instalation. Open up the trunk, get a butter knife and you will see 10-15 black screw looking things holding the top of the trunk carpet on. Take a butter knight and put it inbetween the small head of the clip and the washer and lift up. you will feel it pop a little. Then use your hand and pull it out do this to all the small clips. The carpet piece will start to dangle. At the top there are rubber stoppers that keep the trunk from banging on the medal of your car. just push sideways on these with your hands they pop out easily. Finaly you will see a trunk release lever. to get it around this your sort of have to wiggle the carpet all around and find the right angle to make it slip off. After that its easy look up and you will see who wires running into the license play connecting to the bulbs. Twist it out about 90 degress its made to only twist one way so be careful. After it is out put the new bulb in and turn on your car lights to make sure they both are inserted the right way. Put screw the wires back into the vehicle by turning it the opposite way that you turned it to get it out. Now fit the carpet piece back on over the release handle. to put the small clips back in. look at the clip push the washer forward and it will fit right back in insert them all in and then push the head of it down to lock it into place and your done.

-Im going to do the Rest of the interior lights soon aswell I may make a video for it
