HELP!!! Inside Lights Question
 
Can someone tell me how many light bulbs I would need to order for the inside of the car if I replaced them with LED's? Mine is out of commission and I can't just go and count them. Thanks!!!

FYI changing interior bulbs to LED have one drawback...LEDs are either on or they are off

so the lighting will not fade in and out when you unlock or lock as it does currently with incadescent bulbs

I wanted to keep the Fading so I put in hyper white incadescent replacement bulbs that give the interior an eery glow...many on the forum have put in red, blue, and other colors (even black light :))

Another drawback to LEDs are how expensive they are...when you need to swap
map lights 2
overhead 1 (specialty bulb even more expensive)
in-door lights
vanity mirror lights (optional :))

it adds up quickly...save the LEDs for the exterior I can even show you how to install LED blinkers with load equalizers to prvent the triple blink
