    ebay will be your best friend. or amazon.

    the map lights use a t10 bulb base. you will need 2 bulbs since the map light has 2 bulbs.

    After trying several brands, lumen, and websites I have replaced my map lights, front and rear parking lights, trunk light, and license plate lights with these:


    I could not be happier. These are very bright and a true white color without any hint of blue, and they are well made.

    Thank you for the tip. How many did you get to replace all the stuff you wanted?

    I bought a total of 12 just to have some extras, but you will need at least 9 if you want to do all the ones I mentioned. It is expensive and there less expensive options, but for me it is definitely worth it.

    The description for that product seems unclear as to how many LEDs per bulb. Can you share if there are 3, 5, or 15? Also, can I assume that there is a cover over the LEDs of some sort? A lens or just a clear covering?

    Thanks.

    Now I get it. The chip used is a "5050 3". Odd naming convention, but quite clear once I got that. Thanks.
