If you get an LED with 6 or more it will be brighter than the bulb there. They also draw less power (not that that matters much though). Here is a guy that has a few pictures up there. I used this as a guide. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2379023/4

Excellent prices and customer support. Very fast and will take back unused bulbs.

Determine what type of regular bulb it is and then match it up on the site.

I swapped out the following (cost ~ $20 -25 USD -- I think):
- Let me know if you want to see some pics. I still have to add in the cathods.

WLED 6-LED wedge 194/168 bulb blue:
  • Front driver and passenger map lights (2)
  • Front center dome light (1)
  • Front driver and passenger lower door light (2)
  • Rear reading lights (2)

WLED 6-LED wedge 194/168 bulb white
  • Trunk light (1)
*Tried a 12-LED wedge but it was too big.

74 Wedge Base LED bulb blue
  • Shift box light (1)

Did not change
  • License place light (because I haven't had a chance)
  • Vanity lights (because the 6-LED white was not as bright given the semi-directional light output of an LED)
