You can get the map lights here .... http://jlevistreetwerks.com/OSCOMMER...b8a89610d39bbc

I higly recommend these, their bright and crisp xenon color is totally awesome, and yes the bulb is size 74, you can get that at superbrightleds.com aswell as the two dome lights.

And heres the tech article for the dome fixture, Have a good one

JUST DO NOT TURN THE BULB!! *The Front Ones I mean* And use some sand paper to get a good grip on those small little bastards I turned the bulb and it fell out of its socket and spent almost an hour trying to place it back on because it fell in that gap behind the lights.

Look at the sockets. The middle one you have to wiggle from side to side while pulling downwards. The other 2 sides are at an angle and are slightly harder to remove. I got them after several minutes of working, wiggling, and pulling.
