I don't want to be a pain in the butt, but can somebody write the whole list with the item number of the bulb, number of bulbs used & the websites you guys got it from? Thank you in advance.

I'm getting confused with all of them. Some are using different bulbs. Can you just post the list if you don't mind...

kkokko: The manual actually tells you how to take those out, see link below.



I got all my LED bulbs on ebay. Ten (10) 5-LED cluster bulbs for $20 including shipping.

They all use 194/168/W5W wedge type bulbs, that's all you need to know. The only thing you got to decide is how many LED cluster and what colour.

4 WLED x5 LED Wide Angle LED Bulb - cool white wled-cw5
3 921-x12 wedge base led bulb - cool white 921- cw12

However the trunk dome does not close properly with the 12.. i believe some people used a 6 although I havent tried myself.

THis is from superbrightleds.com

How do I pop the light case off once I have the screw driver in like this? Do i push the handle towards the front windshield or to the back and wedge it?

ok sorry so late guys. had a couple errands to do after work. here it is. i apologize for the quality. i was using my phone to record this:



i actually had to use the screw driver this time. i guess when i used my hands last time i had longer finger nails or something.

oh i forgot to mention to disconnect the battery of the car before taking the stock bulbs out for the vanity mirrors and the door lights. this is so you dont burn the crap out of your fingers.
