LED dome and reverse bulbs
hey everyone, I just upgraded my interior dome lights with LED bulbs and my reverse lights with LED bulbs. super easy n efficient way to get better lighting. The dome lights are festoon 31mm bulbs, and the reverse light bulbs is 7440-7443 bulbs. also I got a 97 so it might be slightly different for 99s and up. they are sweet! and not badly priced. I got em off DDM Tuning: HID and LED Lighting. check it out!!

I have the 48 LED dome lights. Tons brighter and I want to put the LED map lights in. Although now I want to do reverse lights. Those are awesome, and mine are way too dim for me to see anything behind me right now.

I ordered a second 48 LED panel and they sent me a 9 LED panel > 
I ended up sticking it into the maplight and it works great! Hopefully they send me the 48 I paid for too for the cargo light! Does the 48 not fit into the cargo light? I haven't really looked; I just assumed they were the same size.
Also OP: I like that reverse light conversion and I'm gonna go ahead and do that on mine. One question though: were the lights you use 7440 or 7443? I'm confused.
