Nice, looks way better than stock. I did the same thing but used red LEDs to match the interior gauges.

Can you post what lights you actually used from that site?
They have three different styles, just wondered which one you used.

The only ones i could find to actually buy off that site wer ethe 214-2 LED map light, it also says that light + a 561 is used in the dome lights.


So I'm guessing I'd need 3 of the 214-2's for sure?? anything else i'd need?


appreciate the help very much.

I have red leds in currently and I don't really like them too much. Thinking about going back to the white ones.

Yeah I know what you're saying,it is a little darker than I would like also. However I can't remember the last time I used the map lights for anything. I usually just get in and go. Plus with all the street lights and stuff it really isn't an issue with me. I just did it for the looks, I feel like im sitting in a jet or something. Anyway, if I really need to read or look at something in the car I already carry a small maglight in the glovebox .

I don't know what it is with the red leds, they give off a lot of light, but it just doesn't seem as bright as the white ones I had in it. Now I'm thinking about maybe getting some orange ones to match my car, but I'm thinking that might look too much like the stock bulbs.
