Click on the oznium banner on the front page. That's where I got my LED's. Don't ask me about the install because I didn't do it.

lol.. go to bed. j/k. I think he's meaning for under the dash, down by the floor board. I can't think of the number right off hand but if you do a search for bulb numbers, I'm sure you'll find it because it's been mentioned before.

Well, I work for Oreilly, and as far as I know we don't stock them. I work at the warehouse, so all I know is what I see. And since I've worked there I can't remember seeing them. But then again we ship about 50,000 things a day, so thats a lot of stuff to remember. Anyhow, I think Autozone DOES carry them.

I'm planning on doing blue in mine, I think I'll be getting some info on the installation from TribalAlero soon, if you're still wondering, i'll post it here.

Edit: That's if you're doing LED under there, not just bulbs, sorry.

Yeah, those are probly right, but it's not going to be very bright. just red, maybe orange or pink because the yellow tends to show through the coating. The LEDs are little strips of 3 bulbs and you just wire them in, they look really good and you can hook em up to a switch if you don't want em on all the time. You can find em on Ebay for a few bucks.

HaHa! Oh.
You can get them at Advanced? They're the same #s as regular bulbs? I'll have to check that out. you just solder them into the little housing thing?

Ok, I was a bit confused. Have you checked oznium.com yet? They will probably be cheaper there.

5 bulbs in a circle? Those will just plug in, I was thinking a single.

Oh I know exactly how you feel. Good luck with the leds tho.. After about 3 days of having mine, I took em all out. Plus I replaced the dome light with a cheap-o red bulb. I couldn't see anything. But keep us posted on what you do.

It just wasn't bright enough. I'm practically blind as it is and the red lights were kinda giving me headaches.

well i think im going to just replace the floorboard lights and the cubby light and leave the dome light what it is for seeing poop in the car when i need to

there are 3 bulbs in my overhead light, 1 longer one for lighting the whole car and 2 directional ones for the back seat. i replaced them all with blue LEDs and they look pretty cool, although it isn't all that bright.

which is the bulb number for the rear passengers? is that the 212-2 bulb? or is it the other way around

Hey just givin u another idea, i did my whole interior in neons, Behind the dash where ur main console column is theres a space, i got 2 15" neons (green in my car) made a bracket for em to keep em steady and wired em over to a switch box i had rigged next to my seat, all u needs a 12V source from ur battery(rember to fuse it). Then i ran 2 more neons which i put on the back seat arm rests, my car def. lit up green (check out mywebsite) , and if u wanted to light up red just switch the color. Im gonna post some pictures on my car domain site under page 2 for smlzalero to look at, I wish i could show u the wiring pic for pic.... but everything I had got stolen so im currently getting ready to start all over and do a new design but first im putting in the car alarm from hell :pissed: ... hope that helps

just about every tiny bulb in the car can be replaced with 194 leds

Not sure if you know this or not, but the floor lights are very easy to replace.. I did mine in blue, but got tired of those quickly, now they're in hyper white to match me headlights.. and I'm gonna add neons or cathodes later.. that way I still have white lights when I need to see things..

anyways, the housing twists loose, but you don't even need to do that, just make sure the cars off, because they do get hot, and pull on the bulb until it pops loose. wedge the other one back in it's place and you're all set!

I haven't replaced my cubby light yet, but Ihave done the gear selector light.. same deal as the floor lights, 194 and everything.. just take the panel off to get to it.
