superbrightleds.com or autolumination.com are great places for automotive LEDs.

ok so im looking for dome lights and the one i found is:

Super Bright LEDs - Festoon Base Bulbs
High power LED festoon bulbs
Here are the specs for it

High Power LED Festoon Bulb Specifications

what i dont know is the maximum wattage it can draw, ovbiously i want the bightest and "cool white". what luminus intensity is, idk, but if anyone can help me pick out what the best option is quality wise and money-saving wise.

for the top lights and rear plate lights, im going with:WLED Miniature Wedge Base bulbs: WLED-x5 cool white

any objections or better recomendations?? please speak up
(ignore the bold, idk y it came out like that)

(4 total door lights) can someone please confirm this for me, i dont have the car with me right now and i want to order now!

Lol it's tough to find LEDs offered in color temp like HIDs. Mainly they just do cool white, warm white, red, blue, green, amber, UV, and so on lol.

An extra LED bulb for the trunk location. I also put white leds in the maplights but hard to capture a good shot with a point and shoot camera.


I installed a 194 from Oznium.com here as well and thought I would upload a similar pic to compare just for kicks. Thanks again for sharing these pics, and I hope to have a similar setup soon!

Have any of you guys changed out the turning signal lights either for the front or the rear? I brought couple pairs of LED 7440 and they would not fit. Any suggestions??

Hi Reako,

Is your trunk light a lot brighter than the stock bulb? I want a new bulb to light up the whole trunk area. the stock bulb is so dim you need flash light to find anything on the right side of the trunk. Hope the new LED is a lot brighter. Anyway please confirm one way or the other. Thanks!

I just replaced my trunk light with a 194 cool white bulb from superbrightleds. Its less bright but the light output looks alot better so im keeping it. If your looking for a brighter light then this isnt for you. I carry a flashlight in that little pocket in the back anyways. Wish there was a light on both sides though.


Does anyone have pictures of dome lights and map lights with the high power festoon bulbs from superbrightleds? Looking to order them in the 1.2" size. Just looking for something brighter.

I would say it's about twice as bright as the stock bulb....but honestly I believe there are brighter bulbs out there. You may need to focus your search on companies that advertise having the brightest bulbs available. I know they're out there...I saw a pic somewhere on here with one installed that looked like the whole back end of the car was a blazing white inferno. You may also consider installing the mod which retrofits an additional bulb into a plastic housing in this area (Link to DIY). Again, since your primary concern is getting something that is incredibly bright, you may need to do some more poking around. I chose the one I did because I only need to light up half the cargo area (I have a 12" speaker box back there which blocks some light) and did not want to be concerned with a bulb so bright it burns the housing/wiring or blows a fuse..(both unlikely, but I tend to be over cautious). Good luck!
