What's a good amount of leds put in the cubby hole and the dome lights? They have the single, 4 led, and six led variety and I don't know which one to choose because I don't want to be blinded lol

Would the 5 led wide angle bulbs work good for the cubby to get a broader beam of light?

really? how much sanding...just on the tip or all around? i never thought of that
The whole round part clear casing. Do just enough to give it a frosted look. I too cant tell if the 74 bulb has a spotlight or not?

The cubby hole light is a #74 bulb, it only comes in one variant, one LED. (The shifter LED - if you have an automatic - is the same one).

For my domes, and parking lights, and license plate lights I went with SIX LED variant, seems to be a nice even glow all around. I love em.

You guys make this WAYYYYYYYYYYYY to difficult.

Just put the car in NEUTRAL,
pull the parking brake all the way up,
yank on the plastic trim on the left and right sides of the cubby hole and pull outward,
disconnect the cigarette lighter connector,
reach behind, pull the light socket out
swap the LED in
put the socket back into the hole in the cubby hole
connect the cigarette lighter,
put plastic trim back on.
DONE.

in all honesty, it's a 2-3minute job. i had to fix mine the other day, and had it in and swapped in less than a minute (yeah, i timed myself )
if you need more help, PM/AIM me

Yeah, but it's quicker and you have more room to work with, especially when you have gigantic hands like me.
