Well if you're under 18 - blue. LOL.

It's really a matter of opinion, I personally think its pointless so just put in something that works and doesn't make the interior of your car look like a cheap club.

Agreed SC.

But personally I'd go with white LEDs to keep it looking closer to stock but it still lights it up really well. But like he said it's really just a matter of opinion.

There are lots of online places that might have them, or just type into google what you're looking for and you should be able to find something on them.

But I'd ask SC if he either has anything like that that he sells or if he knows of anyplace that you can get those from.

Take the cover off, take the bulb out, take it to autozone or a local parts store and have them match the bulb for you.

yea i have ran into the same problem i went to the Sylvania site and they said it was a 562 dome light which that is a long tube light but i went out to my car to make sure and they where DEAD WRONG!! it is some sort of wedge but like the 168 wedge bulb but not for sure.

And on the topic of light I am thinking about doing some custom work to my trunk where i can have two light back there instead of the stupid one light that does not hardly light up the trunk. if i ever start it i will put up some post and pics on how to do it.

cheers partners
