Dome light bulb replacement

[Zach079xxx]

Im looking to replace th bulb in my dome light to a led style bulb. I don't want anything blue, white is ok though. What's the bulb size? The stock bulb is ok but I replaced the bulbs in my console I installed to leds and you can see the difference. Thanks fellas

It should be a 211-2 style and there are definitely color options depending on where you shop. Superbright LEDs for example.

I put a LED bulb in the dome light & also under the dash (courtesy lights). You can see the light shining on the seat, even in the daylight. At night, they really light up the inside.

Do you have a link to the courtesy light? Those look great. Actually, do you have a link for both that and the led dome? They match really well. How bad was it wiring it?

Courtesy light kit from LMC. That will add two more lights.

Thank you sir. How did you go about wiring it? Follow directions or go about yourself?

[TKCR]

The courtesy lights wire into the existing wiring for the light that's already under the dash, orange & white wires if I remember right. The door will lights will tap into the wiring that goes to the door switch.
When I get home from work, in the morning, I will look at the actual led bulbs and let you know what the part number is. I got them from the local auto store.

Everything was pretty easy to do, I'm actually a miss, not a sir��. So if I can do it, it's easy

What happens if you step on the lighted bowtie in the plate? Will it break?

[TKCR]

I doubt that it would. But i don't step on it. Its made pretty sturdy

Oh I'm sorry, miss! It's just natural to expect a man, that's great women are into squares! And thanks for checking for the part number. I appreciate it

So the courtesy light bulb is a Pilot 1156, I got them from Oreily"s. I believe Auto Zone & Advanced Auto has them too.

I got a new cardboard storage tray from:

I then used speaker box carpet to cover the tray. Attachment 1469070
