I ordered a "complete interior LED kit" from a website (PM if interested, not sure if it's a sponsor)

Yeah I know what you are talking about but they only have kits for 98+ cars and I have a 95. Will the 98+ kits work for me?

If you go to www.sylvania.com click consumer>automotive lighting and put in your model and year. They have a whole list of all the lights in your car. From there you can write down what bulbs you need (and how many) and you can either go to Ebay for the LEDs, or I would highly recommend Super Bright LEDs

I just bought LEDs with the resistors already soldered on (yes, I took the shortcut). Replacement was easy. You can use LEDs to replace any stock filament bulb, or add more lighting to your interior (or exterior). I used red individual LEDs to light up my window/door switches, and UV flex strip LEDs to light up the inside. I always enjoy seeing people expressions with they get in and they're wearing anything white...
