cool. would you know which light bulb it is for the interior? Are you thinking of changing those too? I would love to see pics of that!
I couldn't find the bulb # on search..
i wasn't planning on changing that myself... i seem to recall modifry saying something about how there are some minor issues w/ changing the LED's. can't find the thread right now though...

still, according to Sylvania's website, it should be a DE3022 bump for the map lights.

it should also be in your car manual.

I changed my map lights to the led replacements. They are a bit brighter but much more even in terms of light coverage. if i was home i'd go grab the invoice. i bought the orange and white versions. the white looks a bit blue - i didn't like them. they work fine and draw much less power. this is a useless reply because i can't provide the model # for you guys. all i can say is i've used them for about 3 mos w/o any problems.

btw, does anyone know of the brake light LED replacements that have the LED bulbs that both face outwards and inwards (inwards bounces off the factory reflectors therefore maximizing reflection). I saw some at SEMA a couple of years ago but can't recall the manufacturer. They were very bright, unlike the one-way bulbs you see a ton of online.

UPDATE: I found them http://www.spiderlite.com/

Anyone try these spiderlites? from what I saw they were plenty bright but they were in a showroom not real life

^Pretty cool concept, but I don't know if I like how they make a star pattern in the brake light. IMO, the three spoke pattern looks better, but obviously wouldn't be as bright.

...maybe I'm just being way too picky

And i'm not happy with the leds in the turn signals, you need a light diffuser in front of the led bulb to refract the light from the led for the same full effect the halogen bulb produces.

^ or you need an LED that also rearward facing to make use of the factory reflector
