the 4 mm is what I used in the hvac, door switches, and headlamp switch.

the dome lamp, cargo lamp, and maps are either 568 or 211-2
floor is 194. The cluster and 4x4 switch require a little more work

 

sorry for the confusion,

i don't intend to change any cluster or dashboard lighting
can you please mention other names for the plugs? like 194 is called t10
what is 568? and 211-2

thanks

 

i found out 211-2 is festoon but what the length?

 

one more question

what is the license plate light type?

will i get errors if i replaced it with normal not "error free or canbus lights" ?

 

Update;

installed 2 map lights(in the front roof left and right, they are called map lights right?)
i guess 39mm 6 or 8 smd leds it looks like it can fit upto 42mm bulbs

left the dome light as it as

Installed t10 bulbs for the license plate i guess 9-smd bulbs

will take picture soon when it gets dark enough here

thanks

 

the bulb application from superbright leds should give you all the info you need.

Whats the trick to pulling out the 194 bulbs for the floor courtesy lights? I've converted both dome lights and license plate to LED but can not grip the 194 bulb for the floor lights and pull them out of the socket. Feels like they will shatter in my fingers if I squeeze too hard to grip and pull them out..

 

unfortunately I have had that happen with different bulb types before. luckily I didnt need stiches. you can try laytex gloves to get better grip. or very carefully use a flat blade to gently work the bulb up.
