I just did and there great. all my stuff is from ebay. I bought a 12 smd panel for my dome light, and a 10x 20 smd bulk kit for my map lights and side markers (mine are night shaded), plate light, and 3rd brake light. I will try and get pics but my idk how good my camera will do.

i did mine and made them all red. It looks cool and it gives an all around light to it but as far as it being functional, like being able to see better, it didnt help. only because its red. if i were to do white i am sure it would be bright as ****. i got mine from superbrightlights.com and searched all over this forum for info. it all depends on the year of your car and all kinds of crap

Yea the map lights are 194's but idk if it was just mine or what but they where a pain to get out. I had to pull out my inner redneck and used eletrical tape to get ahold of it and just yankd like a band-aid lol. but it makes it crazy bright in there

yeh, they were in there at an awkward sort of angle, I used a small pair of needle-nose pliers and just grabbed them firmly and they came right out.
