I know there is a application guide for what bulbs fit our cars
Is there one on here that shows what LED's fit?
Seems like I remember someone mentioning it before, but I can't seem to track it down.
I hope there is one, I searched and found that the dome light takes the 3022, which is on superbrightleds.com, but there is two different kinds, there both festoons, but one looks kinda like a "cube"(30 degree beam) and the other resembles a circuit board(120 degree beam).
The trunk light, which is already a 3022 normally, what would it take?!
Any help appreciated.
Thanks guys!

I'm not sure what you are asking. Are you asking what particular bulbs fit? If so, DTN put up a thread with all of the LED bulb setups for the car. He was wrong on a lot of them, they DO fit, but he had several that he "custom made because there is not a plug and play bulb" when there is. Where he was right, was testing to see how big of a bulb could fit in our housings. Mostly at least.
So, when it comes down to it, look at the bulb size chart in the FAQ link at the top. Get a bulb that fits that, and you'll be fine 95% of the time. 3022's and 3175's are VERY similar in size and pretty much interchangable, hence why you see them cross referenced and labeled the same all the time. In particular, look for a LED bulb with a WIDE angle, preferably a SMT type as they are small, VERY bright, and have a 130 degree or so arc of coverage. SMT's are flat, not the bulb looking plastic LED's.
Now, the ones you need to be careful with are the circuit board ones. Our map lights (sunroof models) are a wierd shape and most of those won't fit. This is when the standard style ones work best.
I'll show you what I just bought for my map lights.

They are EXTREMELY bright, I tested them all with a 12V source in my house last night and nearly blinded myself. I bought a LED flasher, new LED bulbs for my front corners, all of the rear lights, and will be posting up before and after pics soon, along with all of the details. This seller is pretty damned good and combines shipping for a discount. Prices are better than SuperbrightLED's also, as many of these items are 2 per pack.
With any luck, I'll have all of my LED's in tomorrow, with the flasher, and let you guys know if cruise works or not with the LED flasher unit. Only LED's I don't have yet are the map lights and reverse lights. Hell, I'll probably be putting the 194's with the 3 flat SMT's in my gauge cluster next.

Got all of my LED bulbs in yesterday, and the car looks great. The bulbs are all brighter than the OEM bulbs, which I thought was amazing.
Also to report, the BLE style LED flasher I had linked to before WORKED! Fits, easy to swap out, and now my blinkers flash at a normal rate too! No more ricer LED fast flashers!
CF13 JL-02 is the model number, and you can get it from SuperbrightLED's or I got mine on Ebay from the same folks I got my bulbs from, ebay member vleds.
And yes, it makes the clicking noise.

You might be able to find these at Autozone or elsewhere.
I'm just waiting for my reverse light bulbs and my map light bulbs. Then I'll start working on the rest of the 194's and such in the dash with some of the panels they have now, or the crazy 194 bulbs they have now.
