omg i just got all the bulbs with the same setup, and it only took me 10 min. easier than i expected, would have been quicker but the back dome light took a bit to push in!

if you find the size of the bulb... superbrightleds.com actually has measurements for the festoons that would always usually works. Even if it doesn't fit you can sometimes stuff it in as long as you are careful.

I had to pull apart the whole peice as 2 bulbs got stuck as i turnend them by accident and pushed them up.

Was kindda dissapointed when i installed them, but turned them on at night and was amazed how bright/clean looking the light is

which rear dome lights to get 31x10mm or 30x10mm?
the 31x10mm is 2 LED while the 30x10mm is 4 LED. So would both fit otherwise?

Hmm we have the ones for the front (ours are a little brighter hence the higher price) but we no longer carry the ones for the rear... maybe next time we reorder LEDs we'll get some though.

it's fairly easy, if you do it the right way. don't try to use a little tweezer and pull the bulb out. you'll end up either breaking it or being very frustrated. what you want to do is from the passenger side, there's a hole to the left of the center console where your feet are placed. reach in that hole, you'll feel a wire. run your hands along that wire, up to the little cubby hole. pull and wiggle that thing out and you can actually pull the whole wire back out so you can see it ,but it stops/ends right at the hole. just pull the bulb out and put your desired color bulb in there. it uses #74 incandescent bulb also found at autolumination and superbrightled.com.

leds work too, but just make sure it fits into that little hole though. it seems that only the incandescent bulbs will fit, but i could be wrong.

unless you plug it in from the front if it doesn't fit from behind... that is.. if your hands are small enough.. it's a tight fit.

but the ones that you are ordering already comes with a base. you don't need the base though.. only the bulb itself comes out... unless you can pull that led out....
