These are the good ones from what I hear. However I also heard of a few people having problems with stuff like the interior light delay not shutting off or doing wierd things. Anyone else experience this? I am also interested in doing the good leds all around, license plate lights and all.

You will also need six 39 mm festoons...
You will also need two PC579 from NAPA, these you will take the bulb out of and replace with one of the LED's.
Don't get these on eBay, they are way overpriced. You shouldn't need to spend more than $8.00 per bulb.
EDIT: Some guys on here have just taken the bulbs out of the original and not messed with buying this bulb. I just found it easier to do this way. Also the 194's don't work well in this bulb after further review. I ended up going with the ones that High Intentions posted. They are way brighter. I am still wanting a more white light for this one and have not been able to find that, but I'm still on the hunt.
So to re-tally you will only need 9 194's if you choose to have the brighter console lights.
