I haven't checked how big the map lights are in my rear view mirror & don't really want to take the thing apart until I have LED's. Does anyone have any pictures of what they look like, or any info on which ones fit the best? I understand that 194 or 2025 bulb sizes will fit, but how much room is there? There's a bunch of different bulbs/leds to choose from...

I don't want to order some & have them not fit. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

That is exactly my worry. I just ordered led's for my gauges, but afraid to get map light led's and have them not fit.

Just ordered all of my LED's for everything except the tail lights, which is another story.. It got kinda expensive, though I also got the LED strips to put in my third brake light.. I found some LED tail lights, from the first time I saw them, I knew I had to have them, I went to buy them, and there isn't a link to add to cart or purchase or anything.. I'm bummed until I get a reply to my e-mail, the bright side is my LED's and new headlights are on their way, woo hoo..

I got my LED's in the mail a couple days ago.. When the mirror lights got installed, they blew the fuse, has anyone else had this problem? Guess I'm gonna just replace the fuse and see if it happens again... Haven't got the rest installed, I will I get home on leave..

Alright, after the map lights blew the fuse, we replaced the 10A fuse with a 15A fuse and after another min or so it blew that fuse too.. Has anyone else had this problem, or know how to fix it? Nothing else I'll just stick with the stock bulbs. I would still prefer the LEDs though..

Does anyone actually have a pic of what type of led bulb they're using for their license plate light? I've had nothing but problems trying to fit bulbs in there. Any pics or suggestions of what actually fits would be appreciated. I have a little one with 5 smd leds on it but it still doesn't fit properly.
