superbrightleds.com has them

awesome LEDs, and lifetime warranty.

About 4 bucks a pop for the front domes and about 3 for the rear.

i found out that my 08 tC will take (3) 9-LED's in my front map lights, but now for the rear dome light i was told that i could also use the same LED, but only would require (1)..these are awesome bright blue, just like in my picture, but whats got me confused is that another place told me that i would need (2) D31mm LEDs for the rear dome..i just want to know if in fact the 9-LED could be used in the rear, because if it does, i am definetely getting it..

I have an 08 tC and just replaced my lights with LEDs from superbrightleds.com. I put the 3022-x9 in rear dome. It is a very tight fit, but it will work. I put the 921-x9 in the front map lights as well as front dome. They fit with not problems and are bright. I went with blue in the domes and white for the map lights. I might upgrade to 921-x12 in the future for the front. Put the WLED 5-LED Wide Angle LED in my license plate bulbs, they are pretty bright as well. Next I will upgrade the trunk cargo light. But this was a very nice upgrade for just a little over $20.

Front:


Rear:


Kind of blurry. Just know the lights are much brighter than the camera picked up. In the front there is 3 bulbs (2 map lights, and 1 dome light). In the back there is just the one. In the pics I only have the front and rear dome on, map lights off. A little trick, on the front bulbs get a rubberband and wrap it around the lights to use as a grip. You won't twist them, just kind of wiggle and pull them down. Check out the thread in the link below. He used smaller bulbs than me, but the ones I got fit. I do not have pics of license plate bulbs yet, but trust me it looks real nice.

Anyone else interested here is what I used.
Front (2 map lights + 1 dome light = 3): 921-x9 (though I bet the 921-x12 fits)
Rear (dome = 1): 3022-x9
License plate (2 for left and right): WLED 5-LED Wide Angle LED

why did you go with the 3022 -x9 when the 3022-4 LED Festoon bulb was recommended, did you find this one was better

I saw somewhere in the thread someone went with the 3022-x9 and it fit so I gave it a shot. I did not try the 3022-4. My only basis for going with bigger bulbs than the first guy in that thread was I wanted it bright, these bulbs succeeded in that. When I place my order for my cargo light I will get the 921-x12 bulbs for the front.

Skip superbrightleds, go straight for this dome light. I promise this is the brightest ever:

And you could also put a total of 3 up front, making it even more expensive! These are a very fair price for how bright they are.

My assumption would be as long as it can be seen clearly? So I probably wouldn't change it to anything other than white.
