Which LEDs to use for Map lights?
I'm thinking of upgrading to LED lights for my interior, and I was wondering what LEDs I should use for my 2 Maps lights. I plan on using this:
http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/D...viewsTabAnchorfor my dome light. (I think)
But I don't know what to use for my Maps. Another user in another thread suggested these:

But all the reviews on the site say that people use them for licence plate lights. So I'm a little confused as what I should use. Any insight would be appreciated.

i have 2 map lights (194) and a dome (211) up front and 2 maps and a dome in back all (211) i believe you have one dome in back with no switches on it right? i would suggest 5k its more of a whiter light the 6k are kinda blue but its what ever you like... the bulbs you have up there are right just got to figure out how many you need & what color cuz the links you have are 2 diffrent colors

Disregard my previous post. I figured out what I needed, ordered them last Friday, and installed them today. Love them.
I had 2 map (194) up front and 3 dome in the rear all (211). I also did my 2 cargo lights (921) and my 2 license plate lights (194 angled) for anybody reading this in the future wondering what bulbs they need. I got 6k for all of mine.

All of the following pertains to the 2009-2010 SCREW with no sunroof.
I bought one pack of these, two bulbs, for the maps up front. (194)
http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED-B...-p6638587.html
Three packs of these, three bulbs, for all three rear lamps. They all use the same. (211)
http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED-B...-p8200027.html
One pack of these, two bulbs, for the license plate lights. (194 angled flank)
http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED-B...-p6691894.html
One pack of these, two bulbs, cool white, for the cargo lights. I bought them from superbrightleds because V-leds was out of stock at the time. They are in stock again now. (921)
http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...%2F921-x12.htm
If you want to buy all of them from V-leds you could also use these for the cargo. They are back in stock now. They are pretty expensive and the ones I posted from superbrightleds work fine for much less money. These would provide you more light than the ones I posted from superbrightleds though. (921)

EDIT- I know now that the 2011 SCREW with sunroof only has two map lights (194) up front and one bulb in the dome in the back (211)

V-LEDs is always on sale. They manufacture those things for pennies on the dollar and sell them to people at well over 400%+ inflation, and give you a measly 5/10/15% off to make you think you are getting a steal of a deal. It's a measly sales tactic.
