Is there any reason why a slightly larger bulb wouldn't fit? I'm considering getting the 75 degree angle 12 LED bulbs for the map lights, door courtesy lamps, and the trunk and the 6 LED bulbs for the license plate. The ones you have are 1.125" x .5" and the 12 LED ones are 1.20" x .6". I doubt that it is that tight a fit but I thought I'd ask before I buy.

^^ good question. Get a set to experiment? lol
I'm already had PIAA super white lying around when i got the car, so put those in the license plate and replaced city light in headlights... now time to do the rest!
I'm gonna experiment with havin a black light for my map lights... would look crazy and prolly have no functional lights... but oh well! as someone above said, experimenting is fun. =p

Some of these lights say they have a built-in voltage regulator, and some say polarized, while others say not polarized....
anyone kno if it make a difference, or if there is something specific to stay away from?

The 75 degree angle 12 LED bulb fits everywhere, except the license plate.
There is one caveat tho... it will fit in the trunk, u just cant quite close the plastic dome cover.... which to me doesnt matter cuz either way all u see is the light. The plastic dome is not visible to us anyway.
I didn't like the 12 LED in the dome cuz it was WAAAY too bright. Like sunshine in there at night.
I didn't like the 12 LED in the DOOR either cuz, while it was amazingly bright and cool looking (like entering into a alien space ship when u open the door) you can see the bright "spot" in the lens and it looks kinda cheap, in daytime also.
I really like the 5 LED radialy mounted, because it "fills" out nicely and so it "glows" throughout the entire lens.

I do admit i am still torn about the Door lights.
Do you guys who have ordered, regret or wanna change the door light to something else? If so, what do u have now, what do u wanna change to, and why the change?
I love the LIGHT output of the 12 LEDs, but not sure if i like the spotty look in the lens. Buthen again, who will notice that anyway... besides ME.
I need some input
