basically, what im lookin to do is replace my floor lights, step lights, and the dome lights with blue aftermarket ones. in my manual its telling me that i need no.158 bulbs for the floor lights, and the step lights, but for the dome light, it doesnt give a number.

my first question is, would no.194 be a sutiable replacement?? im lookin on ebay, and thats all i can find, they are listed as 194/168/158 or sumthing like that. would there be any harm in using a 194 instead of a 158.

also, what bulb should i use for the dome light??

ahh.. yes, one did, but that thread doesnt give an answer to ones question.

on ebay and all these sites that sell bulbs for cars, none of them sell just a no.158 bulb. they all sell 194, but it says replacement part id for 194, 168,158 and like 10 other numbers. like, ex, http://www.autolumination.com/. on their site under the general bulb information tab, it says: Our 194 Replaces: 147 152 158 159 161 168 184 192 193 259 280 285 447 464 555 558 585

655 656 657 1250 1251 1252 2450 2652 2921 2825

so my question now is, will that be a problem??

No, you'll be fine. Replacements are replacements. Different manufacturers use different numbering systems for the same spec bulbs.
