Default Want to swap interior dome lights with white LED...

Can someone please tell where I can find white interior LED bulds for the crossfire? Both my other cars have them, but I can't seem to find them for the crossfire. A link would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

I use these in "natural white" . . . same company as dinasrt recommended but different bulb choice. I have been very happy with them:

Wonder now if I'd be happier w/ the "natural white". I guess mine are the cool white; I just followed someone else's suggestion here on the Forum. It's hard to keep up w/ all the technology, light temperatures, bulb choices, etc. Fortunately they're inexpensive enough to experiment a little. Think I'll try the "natural white" in the style you're recommending Bob.

I hear there are two different versions of the inside dome light sockets. When I did mine, I had to modify the base of the sockets to accept the LED bulbs I bought. Do just a little more research before you purchase the bulbs, I always say do it right the first time and save time and monies. Good luck!

I used bulbs like this with the LEDs all on the front. The others lost too much light to the sides and were too dim.. They look like little flashlights.

My 07 had the bases built into the bulbs and I had to buy bulbs and bases separate.

Where do you find the bases? That's what mine has too.

I have used these bulbs. CLICK and they are much brighter than the ones with the LEDs all around the front and sides.
They are a bit long but just fit under the cover over the bulb.
Delivery was a bit slow but what the heck.

I got mine from Auto zone. The part is a "dorman" part 85835. 1/2 inch instrument panel socket. Says fits bulb numbers 184, 192, and 194. @3.29 each. I used them to swap out the original holders in the dome light that have the bulb built in to change to LED's.
Here is a link from O'reilly
