Replacing interior bulbs with LED

[Border411]

I was wondering if anyone has done this. I found a great site with some really awesome prices but I dont know what BRIGHTNESS to get. What is the brightness that the stock yellow-bulbs are putting out?

Any help would be appreciated.

Here is the site:

I bought from them a while back. I have the 5-LED Matrix bulbs (in super white) in my maplights and my door lamps. They are pretty bright compared to the "first-generation" LED bulbs, but still not as bright as the stock bulbs. They do emit a really nice white light though and are bright enough for me.

Don't bother with the LED dome light, it puts out very little light and the color isn't very nice either. I'd also skip the 74 bulbs. I bought a few to experiment with in the cupholder. The regular bulbs don't put out enough light and the LEDs are too big for the light socket.

thanks. I got a response from that website and they said 1 LED = 1 regular bulb. I take it that is not the case---not to mention it is a little hard to believe.

The ones I got were the 5-LED "Matrix" 194 bulbs. You can see 5 LEDs on them that aim in all different directions, pretty neat.

So I didnt go with the LED's for the interior. Instead I ordered and just installed the Showoff Krypton Hyper White bulbs 194/168 and 3175. The 3175 bulbs were longer than stock....so some bending of the metal tabs needed to be done in the dome housing (they still just barely fit). They all give off a nice *PURE* white color, and thank god the 3175 were 10watts-they are almost as bright as the stock 8watt ones. Anyways...I highly recommend them. The 194/168 are a little dimmer too---but personally I think they are the perfect brightness.
