    Sorry to "invade" your post. Is it worth getting LED lights for interior? My bulb burnt out aswell in the front dome and was wondering on a lighting aspect in the car, if the LED lights make as much light in the car or is it dim?

    No worries mate
    I currently use Festoon Hyper White 6-LED bulbs for both the interior, trunk, and exterior. They look amazing. Definetly brighter than the stock bulbs and they are supposed to last a lot longer.
    I think it gives a 'newer' look. I highly recommend them.
    LMK if you have any other questions

    I see ur from Canada...whereabouts? Im in Toronto.

    I think i'll do the LED bulbs soon then...just not sure where to buy and exact sizes. It should go good with silver/grey interior.

    Im from Vancouver actually haha.
    I bought my LEDs off ebay. I bought Festoon 39mm Hyper White 6-LEDs. 9-LEDs IMHO is too bright, but it really is to your own preference.

    As for the size. check out these two threads:

    I went with 39mm all around and it worked fine. Some ppl suggest 43mm (not sure) for interior and 36mm for license plates. I went with 39 mm and it fitted perfectly fine all around. You can bend the metal inwards if it is too small.

    Also you might want to take your time to read this thread:

    It has pretty much everything said about interior bulb swaps. Hope this helps.
