A word of advice for the other impatient people on here that like to push and tug on on parts to get them out. Don't push on the piece that holds the dome lights in. It is a circuit board and it will break. Then you'll get violated by the dealer and have to pay $86 for a replacement
Le sigh..

finished the mod. the cubby light was easy to pull out with some pliers. i guess i just couldnt get the right grip on it. grabbed it with the plier real soft like and came right out. wow does this mod make the orange way easier on the eyes. very pleased with the mod. next up is the guages. argh. need help with that.

yea it took about 6 days to get to my house. about 10 mins process n very much worth the time. i saw a tc with the red bulbs and it looks great as well. i went with blue. but yea i got them from superbrightleds.com

I went with white 9-LED 921 bulbs for the map lights. They're uber bright. I originally got them for the reverse lights, but wasn't impressed by the light output, but for the interior, they work great. Got them on e-Bay, lol.
For the front dome, I got the 1-watt LED in red. That is really bright also. They're a lot brighter than any of the other bulbs for the parking lights, but I wouldn't trust them to last a long time if you use your headlights a lot.
I ordered a bunch of the 1 watt LEDs for some friends, and they all got here within 2 to 3 days.

I might not be able to get them tonight, and I'm going to NJ this weekend. Lets just say that I have the same type in the parking lights. They're bright enough to shine light on trees over 20 feet away (not real bright to light them up, but can make shadow puppets, lol.)

Just finished putting in the LEDs. It looks SO much better. I love the pure white instead of the yellowish color from the incandescent bulbs. The blue is sweet looking too! Very easy to do. Took 5-10 minutes. I also was able to reach around the back and swap out the cubby hole bulb. Thanks for all the info!

i did the 9 led in the reverse and i love the way they look. kind of purplish... but they are real sharp.
here is a pic but it looks cooler in person.
i have more pics but they arent on my photobucket.
i just ordered the license plate leds 2 days ago so they should be here soon.

Question
Does anyone know if the 06 XA uses the same two type of bulbs? My manual says that both front AND rear are double-ended. The XA does not have 2 map lights up front like the TC so I am certain there is only one bulb inside. I take metro to work and I was gonna pick up the LEDs on my way home so its not like I can just pop off the covers and have a look.
My front parking lights take the same as the TC front dome lights and I wanna replace it with BLUE... what would be better a 4-led, 6-led or 9-led?
One more question... does anyone know what kind of bulb I need for the "oven" in my ride?
Thanks
