Be sure to use the search function before creating these. There are plenty of threads already with bulb sizes

Will these fit in the tC2 license plate light? I know on one website it said 194/168, are they the same?

What are the bulbs required for daytime running lights?
Can anyone confirm that they're the same as the hi-beam, 9005 size?

Thanks!

1 - Are the signal/turn lights the 175's as well? It kind of looks like your answer was left blank on that one.

2 - How about the brake lights? Able to convert those to LED?

3 - What size is the reverse light(s)?

4 - I do not want ANY standard bulbs in my car. I want ALL to be LED/HID. Is this possible?

5 - Thanks.

I changed all the dome lights, as well as the trunk light in my car to LED, after a bunch of trial and error i got the right sized LEDs to fit. AND TO ALL OF YOUR BENEFITS :D!!! I'll write what i have written on the invoice i got, and if you have trouble finding the right ones i can go to the website and circle the exact ones i got, but i have no time at the moment D: (got all my bulbs from superbrightleds.com)

For the front dome lights, i put the
- WLED-x6: 6 LED Wedge Base Buld-WLED-CW6: Cool White

^--- two of these cause the front dome has two bulbs

the rear dome light i put the
- 3022-x9: 9 LED Festoon Bulb-3022-CW94: Cool White

^--- one of these cause its a double ended wedge bulb thing. it has 9 bulbs in a little square thing. amazingly it fits perfectly in the housing.

the trunk light used
- 3022-x4: 4 LED Festoon Bulb-3022-CW4

^--- this one fits snuggly in the trunk housing, but it makes the switch alittle hard to press...

License Plate Bulbs used
- WLED-x6: 6 LED Wedge Base Bulb-WLED-NW6: Natural White

^----- Same as the front dome lights, just used the "Pure white" instead, it looks nice o:

Reverse Light used
- 744x-xHP3: 744x series 3-HP LED Wedge bulb - 7440-WHP3: Cool White

^----- This was a 7440 bulb, the hardest part is taking out the old bulb, mine fell into the frame of the car ._. but it looks good, i didnt see pure white, there was only this white (It's much whiter than the same cool white color used in the domes), a yellow, and a red.



If you noticed, the trunk light and the rear dome basically have the same size bulbs. The 9 bulb LED would not fit in the trunk because the housing is too narrow. And the 4 bulb would be too dull to be in the rear dome light.

Sorry if its worded weird, i woke up at 5AM to write a paper and then had the good idea to post this because i got an email from the forum, saying someone replied to this post xD


GOOD DAY!!

EDIT: If i can get around to it, i'll post a picture of each bulb in each housing

EDIT 2: The bulbs from this site are cheap in price, so im certain a more expensive bulb will give a more brilliant color, etc. But for my first LED swap, i think its fine. Don't get me wrong, these bulbs are great, but i just know there's always more expensive and better quality around. the same for way theres a better alternative to everything else :D

Thanks, but yeah, i wish a write up was around when i bought them, i ended up wasting like $8 on bulbs that didnt fit!

And i would really like to see the brank, reverse, signal, parkers... Cause those are all i have left for the easy bulbs to swap D:

Yes, thank you, Enzie! Did you replace your license plate lights as well?

Definitely waiting to hear about the best LED swap for brake, reverse, signal and parking lights!

Too bad all of those LEDs don't come in the Natural White 4,500k color. How much of a blue tint do you get with the Cool White 7,500k color?

Also, the switch being harder to press, why is that? Hopefully, it shouldn't be too big of a deal, since ultimately, the trunk light is controlled by the hatch opening and closing right? Most people would leave the switch on, I would imagine.
