What LEDs do you recomend for the license plate lights?
What about for the trunk light?
What about for the interior dome lights?
I also heard that on the interior dome lights you can not have all of them as LED lights or they don't work right or something like that. Is this true? Thanks!

Gearbox, I have saw you mentioning the Philips Blue Vision w5w bulbs quite a few times. You have said they will work on the plate lights, and front dome lights. Do they also work in the reverse lights, trunk light, and rear dome light? If not what are some non LED bulbs that can fit into these spots and still put out a nice white light like that of the Philips Blue Vision w5w bulbs?

they are nice bulbs if you like the "whiter than stock" look but not purple or blue tint. they should fit the trunk light, dome light and map light (if you have moonroof), plate light, and possibly reverse light altho it wouldnt be bright enough being only 5w instead of 18w. i would also see if raybrig makes any of the sizes. they are equally as good and the exact same color as bluevision.

Thanks a lot. So those w5w should fit in all three spots in the map lights up front (the one in the center that comes on when the door is open, and the other two that can he turned on with a button) and in the rear one? What bulb do you recomend for changing out the reverse lights with? Or do you not recomend chaning them at all?

yeah front it will fit all three. rear dome light is different, its the festoon style cylinder type. for reverse i would stick with clear raybrig 921 bulb for twice the brightness and whiter color too.

not sure on the festoon, you have to measure yours and compare sizes. the other ones are just 194/168/w5w same thing for the mini wedge.
