Quick question

[jerzboi87]

What would the interior light bulbs be called that are by your feet?
im tryin to find blue bulbs for my interior but im not sure which bulb i should be lookin at.

Thanks

those are 194s
if you go to superbrightleds.com, you can get those swapped out with led replacments (no wiring just plug in the stock spot, and your good to go) for next to no money, i did those lights, and my dome light, all for just under 20 bucks

[jerzboi87]

what size light is the main dome and the two little ones and are the little ones pull outs like the 194s?

[Vinman]

the dome is a 42mm festoon (the rear view mirror lights are the same size)
and the ones for the rear map lights those are also 194s, and you can carefully take them out by using a small screw driver, and popping them out from the bottom..but be careful, i've tried that and my lights don't work..i haven't been able to get those to stay back in place..
I think the little ones your referring to are 194s that just pull out..(they're in the foot wells, and I also did my glove box light and the shifter light..if auto.. which are also a 194s)
I haven't been able to take out the light for the compartment under the radio and hvac controls, but that is a smaller light, i think its like a 63something.

so pretty much all the lights are 194's and they pull out rather easily

so when you do the blue lights are they brighter or more dull?

[Vinman]

if you mean blue leds...which oddly enough, i've started putting in...and i know it kinda looks odd with my car being green and all...but yeah the blue leds are actually a pretty vivid blue, but its blue, not purple or white (if you went to autozone and bought their blue replacement bulbs that are non led, they'll be white or a very faint blue)

[jerzboi87]

i jus got 2 194s replacement bulbs from Autosport and they are pretty blue, suprisingly. so Vinman your tellin me that the two smaller bulbs in the rear map lights are in fact sliders like the ones by my feet? i don wanna pull them if they aren ya know lol and the light in the trunk is a 44mm feeston as well?

i have an auto as well, how did you get to the shifter light? yeah that small one is hard to figure out its in such a small space

[Vinman]

the two map lights are 194s, you just have to take out the holder there in and with a little work, they'll come out..its kind hard to explain, but once you take out the blue holder ( i forget what its called) you can flip it upside down and take a very small screw driver, and carefully push at the exposed light bulb, and they should pop out.
Now to get at the shifter, you take out that little cubby thats under the hvac controls (just pops out), then you put the car in neutral and you can remove or at least move the cover around the shifter, and the bulb is right there, and its as easy as doing the foot wells..
and the trunk....i have no idea, i haven't checked that out yet

yo jus redid my interior lights
the front two map lights are 211s
the glove compartment has a 194 in it ( i had to unplug the light and use plyers)
the dome light is a 211 as is the trunk light and the two rear maps are the 194s like you had said. Oh and the two lights were easier to take out, jus pop the plastic and those 2 blue holders you twist clock wise and they come out so you don need to use any screw divers

the guy at the out shop said he hasn heard of the 42mm festoon and says there 211, so i was wonderin what the 42mm stand for, or they the same as the 211s but brighter?

[Vinman]

superbrightleds.com says they're a 42mm festoon...not exactly sure why they call it that but thats what it is according to them..

you mean you didn't have any issues taking the 194s out of the blue holders for the rear map lights? damn.......

[jerzboi87]

nah there were just like the one in the shifter, jus a simply twist and they come out easily

which size did you get from that site the 42x11?

[jerzboi87]

how bright are the 42mm? im tryin to figure out if its worth buyin 4 (2 in the mirror, one in the dome and one in the trunk) or jus 2?
also how long did it take for you to get them in?
thanks man!

[Vinman]

they're pretty bright..they are def. blue..i could post a pic up to show you, but its gonna look wierd 'cause my rear view mirror lights are still the stock "white", and it didn't take long at all just pop the old ones out and put the new ones in...the mirror will be a bit tricky (i looked to see what kind of bulb it was, but haven't replaced it yet)
if you don't want to take it down, use a small screw driver to pry out the bulb it shouldn't be held in tight, so it won't be much of a struggle

[jerzboi87]

haha yeah i did the mirror yestarday and they are both 211s or 42mm as you said earlier
i like my new shifter lighting, but i only have the store bought ones tho they are pretty bright...

[Vinman]

you got lucky with the store bought bulbs..i bought the blue replacement non-led bulb for my dome from autozone, and it was blue the first couple of times it came on, then it turned to just white because the color coating on the glass wore off...

now i've got to finish my lights

[jerzboi87]

haha man i noobed it bad!
i took out the blue bracket with the lights and end up breakin one but i figured out that the 194s are diff then the light in the brackets, the 194s have there connectors in the middle instead of on the side like the stock ones in the brackets therefor there is no connection and is why the 194s didn work
