Re: Quick Light Question..

if you are talking about the 'map' lights, they are 194 bulbs.

in the front of the vehicle there are 3 lights. a dome light, and two map lights. all 3 of them are 194 bulbs. in the rear of the vehicle there is a festoon bulb.

Re: Quick Light Question..

what is the exact year make and model or your car. most LX uses festoon reading lights, the EX has 194. best bet is measure the ones you have in the light already and use that to get new one. could check sylvania.com light replacement guide too...

Re: Quick Light Question..

Sylvania shows it as a DE3175 for both the map lights and the dome light.

Take your old bulb to compare size.

Re: Quick Light Question..

eek >.< forgot to come back and talk about my light question..

oh i think 194 is the same as T10 lights.. My civic 2005 hybrid uses T10 lights..
-the domes light AND reading/map light uses the festoon.. "the smaller festoon"..
-and almost every other lights uses T10.. this applies to : trunk, side door(if you have one), stop lights..
-T20s are the backing up lights..
- funny story.. the T20 light are VERY VERY fragile.. if you FLICK it.. then you just wasted $10 .. the little resist0r(i think thats what's its call) is very thin and if you pulled the light out too hard or flick it, you probably snapped it out of place..(at least the OEM ones)... so.. BE CAREFUL checking the lights..

i strongly believe everyone should replace all their light with LED

Re: Quick Light Question..

I want to replace all my interior lights, trunk and license plate lights with L.E.D. I have the 2002 LX coupe. So are my lights festoons or 194?
