Changing map and dome light to LED?

Thinking of going with the blue leds but they are not as clear as the white leds so ....which blub of leds should I get? the ones with sets pf 4, 6, or 12 leds in each blub.

Was thinking the set of 6 would be good? dont want it to be too dark or too light

Dont know if you bought any yet, but i have the blue with 4 bulbs. its pretty dark. im going to go with white leds. looks more cleaner. sometimes the blue gets frustrating when looking for things lol.

does any one know the sizes of the stock bulbs? I'm finding different LEDs DE3175 that are different size and dimension.

or does DE3175 all I need to worry about?

As long as it's the correct model number you should be fine.

Needs to be correct wattage

If you get the standard cheap .5 watt DE3175 bulb, the lights won’t draw enough current to activate the ecu interior lighting circuit, so when the car isn’t running, they will be super dim, you need to get at least the extra bright 1 watt bulbs, if you want the light to work when the car isn’t running
