Another LED question

OK I looked till I am cross eyed. Now does anyone have a web site for the replacement LED bulbs for the interior lights? I.E. Map lights, doors, and dome. Also does anyone have the part numbers too?

Thanks in advance.
Bob

theres a few different places you can get them, and you'll probably get flamed for asking, but some go to http://autolumination.com/ or www.ebay.com You need 194 bulbs for doors and maps and a 3175 for dome festoon is what most will agree is best I got all of mine from www.superbrightleds.com and they look great.

I should tell you to search like I did but here are the numbers:

Autolumination is cheap quality.
Vleds gets a lot of thumbs up around here.

All interior lights (Map, door courtesy) are 194.
The dome light is a 31mm festoon bulb.

do NOT buy autolumination bulbs. I've gone through soooo many of their bulbs because I was stubborn and kept thinking they would last. Bad idea....

Also, their bulbs often don't even match in color. I went to replace ONE of the small driving lights and it was completely different then the other. (good thing I ordered 2)

I would definitely go with www.vleds.com

One more vote for vleds. Autolumination is crap.

I'm curious to know as well... How many of each bulb will I need, and what type of 194s should I get? Vleds lists quite a few options

Thanks!

I just had 3 LEDs from v-leds.com burn out on me, so they aren't the solution either. Luckily I bought a bulk set of 10, so I have replacements, but I'm trying something new. I purchased some LED protectors from autolumination:

http://autolumination.com/equalizers.htm (scroll half way down the page)

The parking lights and the license plate light keep going on mine (corner lights seem to last forever), so I've added 3. Just spliced into the positive. I'll let you guys know in a month or two if I've had any failures.
