Oznium and autolumination are two alternatives. I have 2 white oznium 194s and a red lamp from autoluminations in the middle and in the back.

ok finally i got it!!!! its hard to take out the whole plastic housing but it didnt break... to put it back you have to do this:

u have to push the end of the housing upwards then slide it to the back ( there is two white plastick thing inside, there is where u have to slide your housing then you just have to pop the front back in its place! and the fittment is perfect..

ok here is the deal.. i ordered a bunch of LED let me write a review on them:

921-x9 Wedge Base LED bulb



this is what i used for the front dome.. its bright enough and the white is good but the blue......... its not 100% blue.. its greenish a little bit so i changed it to something else.

-white is good.. it has 9 led on it, bright enough.. not superbright
-blue is not really blue.. its like 80%blue and 20% green.. hard to tell.. u can tell the difference only if u have a really nice blue in the rear dome..


-----------------------
WLED 1-LED bulb



i bought these for the licesne plate because this led has a 180degree of viewing angle.

BUT. the white is not white WHITE.. its blueish white and not really bright.... at least this one was forking for months!!!!! ( i had no problems with the cops...)

------------------------
WLED 5-LED Wide Angle LED bulb



this one is the best for the headlights.. bright and the color is perfect ( blue, white) .
these leds in the headlights are ok. but the ones at the license plate started to flicker.. i used 4 of them.. all of them started to flicker back there... i dont know why...thats why i changed to the 1led wide viewing angle one....

---------------------------
WLED 6-LED bulb




this is what i just bought for the license plate.. they are much brighter than the 1 led ones and they are super white.
i hope they not gonna start flicker.. etc)

and the blue is perfect - royal blue, so this is what u need for the front dome

buy this and the 3022-x4 LED Festoon bulb to get the same blue ( royal blue) color

------------------------------
3022-x4 LED Festoon bulb



the fittment is so-so.. a little bit tight...
i ordered this for the rear dome and trunk.. the color (blue) is perfect (royal blue... not greenish) but somewhy the rear dome wont shut off completely.... i dont know why.. its not a big deal.... whatever... u cant barely see that..

-------------------------------

3022-x9 LED Festoon bulb



i tought this is gonna be rock.. but not.. bright.. bright but the blue one is greenish just like the other one what i already linked....


so buy this one and the 921-x9 Wedge Base LED bulb because they have the same blue color but dont mix it with anything else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i wanted to make a pic.. but its impossible to tell the diff by the pic


-------------------------

921-x12 Wedge Base LED bulb


THE WHITE IS PERFECT!!! BRIGHT AS HELL!!!! if u want white front dome lights this is what you need!!!

this is the same 921 type leds so the blue must be greenish..but who knows..

--------------------------
cubby lights ( the lights below your A/C control , above the cigarette lighter....)

74 Wedge Base LED bulb


i got the blue one and its royal blue!!! so its perfect!

to install this you need to remove the whole center console...

i hope u guys like me review

you gotta make sure that the switch is off to the lights....for example, if u wanna replace your dome light, it cant be on door or on on...its gonna be on the off thingy

just simply turn it off =D
