bulbs

Can someone tell me which bulbs to use for the vanity mirror and the glove box.
I'm trying to change it to white LED.

Just got my superbrightleds on thursday nite... installed them all on fri afternoon. SO worth it.

Here's my setup:

Maps/Domes - WLED-x5 LED Wide Angle LED (wanted to go wide angle -for light scatter- and not too bright here -didnt wanna blind myself)

Doors - 921-x12 Wedge Base LED (these are blue, and definitely the most striking. Had em for one day and 3 ppl already commented how hot they look)

Trunk - WLED-WHP (the best brightness/size/light scatter for your buck)

License Plate - WLED-x4 LED (went with a 4 because I didnt wanna get too bright here for obvious reasons...)

Reverse lights - WLED-WHP (yup, you read right, theyre perfect back there)

All in all, if not for the reverse lights, the whole process would have taken me about 20-25 mins... but i got stuck on the reverse lights for a little while because I was afraid to YANK them out, but eventually I got it.

I MIGHT change the domes to blue also, but I dont wanna cross the fine line between "nice" to "rice..."

Couldnt take pics last night, but will tonight... stay tuned!

Yes, there is supposed to be a spherical shaped cover over the bulb...

Did you have any issues with the bulbs you selected? Like did you have to leave the cover off the trunk light or did any of them not fit real snug? Loose bulbs? Hard to pull offs? Anything of that nature?

Nope, all fit perfectly. The door bulbs themselves were a bit difficult to get out, but after about a minute, I was successful.
