Courtesy light question

Alright this might sound like a dumb question. But i ordered the interior door led set for my 8. when the stuff came in i got the replacement bulb and these fuse looking sort of "bulbs"? if you wanna call them that? I want to know what those are for. i obviously can understand to replace the bulb with the new bulb but i dont know what these fuse looking bulbs are for.

They're called Festoon bulbs, and they usually go in the center light in the roof.

lmao what a nut tard.

The door bulbs are 194 peanut bulbs.

The map light bulbs are 194 peanut bulbs as well.

The Dome Light (The one that sits behind your head and lights up the two rear seats) Is your "fuse looking" bulb.

The Vanity Mirror (The bulbs inside the front visor, that item you pull down in order to block the sun from your eyes that sits above your head) is also what takes your "fuse looking" bulbs.

Without knowing what kit you bought, and who you bought it from we wouldn't have a clue as to where those bulbs go. But since you said you recieved two of them I would guess they go in the vanity mirrors.
