your close theres 5 3 down middle and two pointing towards seats. I made my own PCB boards and solder super bright leds to them and tied into trunk light wiring.

Front Side Marker - 194

White LED - 2 V-LEDS 5K WHITE 194 13 LED LIGHT BULBS 158 168 2825 B/O

Rear Side Marker - 194

White LED - 2 V-LEDS 5K WHITE 194 13 LED LIGHT BULBS 158 168 2825 B/O
Red LED - 2 V-LEDS RED 194 13 LED LIGHT BULBS 158 168 2825

License Plate - 194

White LED Flank Bulb - V-LEDS HID WHITE 6 LED M-SMT FLANK BULBS 194 168 158 2825
High Power White LED Flank Bulb - V-LEDS HID 6K WHITE 4 LED 2 WATT HP M-SMT FLANK BULBS 194 168 158

Brake Lights - 3157


Red High Power LED - 2 RED 3157 V-LEDS 7W HIGH POWER 20 LED BRAKE LIGHT BULBS 3156 4057

Reverse Lights - 921

White LED - V-LEDS HID WHITE 19 M-SMT 8W HIGH POWER BULBS 917 918 920 921 922 923

Map Lights in Rear View Mirror - 194
(Technically, it's 2825, but 194s fit)

White LED - 2 HID 6K WHITE SMT X5 HIGH POWER LED LIGHT BULBS 194 168 158 2821

Dome Light - 562


White LED - HI POWER 3 LED 5K WHITE DOME LIGHT BULB 561 562 564 212-2

Dome Light Map Lights (For those that have them) - 194


White LED - V-LEDS HID 6K WHITE 4 LED 2 WATT HP M-SMT FLANK BULBS 194 168 158

Trunk Light - 194

White LED - V-LEDS HID 6K WHITE 4 LED 2 WATT HP M-SMT FLANK BULBS 194 168 158



If the map lights in the rear view mirror don't give you enough light, I created a how-to for installing a dome light in a sunroof car, makes a hell of a difference in lighting. As far as the brake lights go, I have a set of LED tails, so I don't actually use LED bulbs in mine, but the ones linked will do the job just fine.

For the license plate and dome map lights, I suggest using the flank bulbs since they will only light up in one direction rather than all around. This is useful because of the way the bulb is positioned over the plate and in the dome light, that way all the light the bulb produces will be going to what you want lit up.

Any other questions, I'll be glad to try to help.
