LED Bulbs for the Glove Box, Trunk, Dome and License Plate lights
LED Bulbs for the Glove Box, Trunk, Dome and License Plate lights
So I got replacement LED lights on the recommendation of the forums from http://superlumination.com/ but there are many different styles of 194 and feston bulbs.
This is what I recommend for each area:
Glove Box and License Plate lights: 36mm = 1-3/8" Long 4LED
Trunk: 44mm = 1-3/4" Long 9LED (I'm pretty sure the fetson 44mm Super High-Flux Leds dome bulb with the 2 LED's would work as well)
Dome Light: 194 Superstar Bulbs (I almost choose the 194 5LED Matrix Bulbs because i thought it would have better dispersion, but from the pictures it looked brighter.)

Re: LED Bulbs for the Glove Box, Trunk, Dome and License Plate lights
Did you need any load resistors for the LEDs to prevent a "Lamp Out" indicator on the dash ?
I like the low power drain of the LEDs. I switched my little MagLight to LEDs and my batteries seem to last forever now...

DOME: WLED-WHP Pure White High Power LED (one of many 194 replacement options) $4.95 x 2
GLOVE BOX: 3610-x4 LED 36mm Festoon White 3610-W4 , $2.84 x1
Boot/Trunk: 4410-x9 LED 44mm Festoon bulb Cool White 4410-CW9, $4.74 x1
SuperbrightLEDs charged $5.00 for shipping & handling so my total cost was $22.48
A few notes:
In the boot- I believe a 42mm Festoom would have fit fine (in fact I think that is what was in the fixture). And since 42mm Festoons are available in BRIGHTER styles I may change that out, but I'm going to give this one a try for awhile and see how I like it.
In the dome- The WLED-WHP Pure Whites are GREAT! Very bright, much nicer than the original bulbs.
Cheers

You should only need load resistors if you change exterior bulbs, such as the License plate marker lights.
Otherwise the "lamp out" indicator will stay lit.

Re: LED Bulbs for the Glove Box, Trunk, Dome and License Plate lights
I ordered the LP and dome LEDs yesterday, and I ordered a resistor just in case (i dont know if i need 2) but it seems like the hardest part of wiring one in is finding a spot to put it. I guess it all comes down to the draw on the bulb. Being that the LP lights are in the hatch door, it may need to go more towards the fuse box. I didnt check yet, but if there is a fuse for the LP lights, ill put it right before the box.

Re: LED Bulbs for the Glove Box, Trunk, Dome and License Plate lights
You may into some issues with flickering/failing LEDs down the road as a result of under/over voltage. You'll want to get a voltage regulator to install at every interior lamp location (as well as the license plate lamps if you're doing the exterior) to prevent this in the future. Visit this thread and read the part on the first post about the license plate lamps to find a link to a good regulator:
