Default LED?'s

I'm doing all of my interior lights with new led's. Can someone tell me the sizes I'll need for my map lights, door panels and dome? Thanks.

This information is READILY availiable on the forum if you spent 2 minutes searching. However, I posted it for you and anyone else that wants to know.

I just want to replace my interior lights with some plug-and-play bulbs. My friend bought an entire interior's worth for $8 off of eBay and they look awesome and light the **** out ouf the inside of the car. That seller is no longer selling anything and when I talked to my friend a couple of days ago he didn't know the sizes. That site that Brickyard posted is probably spot-on for what I was looking for. Thanks man.

I will try and post up some pictures of my setup this evening if I remember. I have all the above mentioned bulbs. Door panels, Map lights, Dome light, shift selector, full gauge cluster, HVAC, Autometer Cobalt gauges, and cathodes under the dash (wow, no wonder I have no money in my bank account). I have some more lights to wire in as well. I still need to wire the headlight selector.

The pics don't show how bright everything actually is, for some reason it's dimmed down. I also realized my dome light is burnt out so I'll be replacing that here soon.

Floor boards


Floor boards + maplights on


Gauge pillar + Floor


Gauges. They actually light up a lot brighter but my camera dimmed them for some weird reason.


I have the HVAC and gear selectors swapped over as well, however I couldn't get my camera to cooperate at all with those.

Here's my setup. I went with single UV LEDs for the window switches, and went with UV LED flex strips for the rest. (Let me tell ya, UV is a bit@h to photograph!

















People tell me it looks like a club inside. Especially if they're wearing anything white .

The link I posted has what you need.

Door panels and Hvac are 73/74 (I forgot which one) Dome light is a 906, map lights are 212-2. Gauge cluster is 194. For the under dash I went with 12" cold cathodes from a non sponsor.

Not all LEDs are equal, Egay has had some good ones, and some really, really, really crappy ones.

Oh thanks man, I thought there was more than one bulb for the gauge cluster and the HVAC lights. I didn't know the link you posted was LED's I thought it was just a replacement guide.
