  • New interior/exterior bulbs

    I want to change the interior bulbs and rear license plate bulbs to hyperwhites, but I'm not sure of some of the types. I know the bulbs in the map light up front are 194, but what is the one in the middle of the roof? I looked at it, and it almost looks like a 6411, but there are two metal clips on each end to clip it to the power source. And the one in the trunk looks like a 6411 too, but the ends are flat, not pointed.

    Alright, I found out myself The bulb up in the center of the roof and in the trunk is a 561. Also a 211-2 (they are interchangeable). And the one in the license plate light is a single 194. Just thought I'd share it in case anyone else wants to change them.

      Thanks for the info, I'm gonna stop by a few parts stores on the way home from my midterm so see what colors they may have. I've always like replacing my interior lights with red bulbs, gives me the feel of a cockpit

        i think it would be kinda cool to put red in the center light, keep the whole red theme going. i also want to add red led ground kit

          Yea I found some superwhite and red bulbs pretty cheap on ebay, I'm gonna try them both out and see what I like better.

            bulbs

            hey guys. when you say the center lights are 194, you're talking about the two bulbs between the two visors, right?

              This post is really confusing, what I'm going to do on Tuesday if no one else does before then it take all the covers off every light in the interior including the trunk and I will make a list of the bulb numbers to end all the confusion.

                    The confusing part is that the same bulbs have multiple numbers. For example:

                    194/168: Map light (push button lights up top), rear license plate bulb

                    561: Center map light (middle of roof), can also be used in trunk

                    211-2: Trunk light

                        I just ordered bulbs to completely replace every interior light. I got two different colors, red and superswhite. I want to see which looks best. For the upper middle and trunk lights, I got this bulb that has LEDs in it, so it should be really bright.

                        I'll post some pics if they come out clear.

                          Actually I stopped by a pep-boys to pick up some lights but I just ended up looking and I saw those lights with the LED's you are talking about. I saw those and was like wtf coolest little gadget I've seen in a while.

                              Just go to an auto parts store, they started selling kits with all the bulbs you need to do the whole interior, saw them two days ago when I was looking. Either that or you can get them from Ebay but then you have to wait for shipping. Just thought I'd throw my two cents in, sorry mike
