Interior Map Lights and exterior license plate lights?

Has anyone swapped these out? I was looking to put some green bulbs in my interior map lights. I believe the size is 3022 5watts?

Also, i'm looking to swap out my license plate lights for some LEDs. I believe the size is 168/194 5watts?

Has anyone swapped these out? I was looking at the bulb list, but have heard about people needing to put more than just the bulb in.. Helpful input would be very much appreciated


Oh and if you could tell me where you bought yours, that'd be great too! Thanks all

Plate lights are super easy. I don't have a dome light (just map lights), but I've heard they're pretty easy to change too. Changed the dome light on one of my previous rides ... just took a flathead screwdriver and popped off the cover, changed the bulb, then popped the cover back on.
Plate lights, just look underneath your bumper where the lights are, you'll see two covers you can unscrew with a phillips. Just pop those off, careful not to lose the foam seal. Pull out the old bulbs, plug in your new LEDs. Then just tuck the bulb holder back up and screw the covers back on.
Tip: Test the lights before screwing the covers back on.

You're right on the bulb size for the plate: 168/194
Dome Light: 3022

A Chinese shopping mall near Toronto called Pacific Mall.
Any car accessory shop should carry them. They're cheap too. I think I paid like $8-10/pair.
