Hi All,
I'm trying to replace my interior bulbs with some LED bulbs from http://www.superbrightleds.com but the numbers on the bulbs don't seem to return many results when using their search function. I checked Sylvania.com and didn't have much luck there either. I think I managed to find a cross-reference part number for one of the bulbs (see below). Does anybody know any of the alternate part numbers for these bulbs?
K5618 (Cross-Referenced as Part # 4410)
37R
3860
Thanks in advance.
-Jon

Check out 42 Draft Designs for your LED's. I am replacing mine as we speak. Our interior uses wedge style lights in the doors, 39mm fuse style lights under the dash, under the driver and passenger seat, in the trunk, glovebox and in the overhead light by the sunroof. The reading lights are a push and turn style. This is what I've been working on so far. I am not sure what bulbs are used by the license plate but thats coming soon.
Hope this helps!
OOOO

Thanks guys,
I'm only putting LEDs in the front and rear dome lights, the front and rear smaller push button lights, and the lights in the sun-visors. I measured the bulbs, converted them to millimeters and matched them to the bulbs on superbrightleds.com. This should be fine for the festoon bulbs but there's a chance the push and turn ones which they call bayonet bulbs wont fit ($5 for them so no biggie). I'll let you know how they fit/look when they arrive.
And I did see those bulbs listed on Sylvania.com but they didn't cross-reference on superbrightleds.com.

The LEDs came in the mail and they all fit fine  .
There is a small problem though: They all light up fine when I open one of the doors but if I manually turn them on (by hitting the roller-switch), they don't turn on. I can see a slight flicker of light from the smaller push-button lights (seems as though the LED bulbs aren't drawing or getting enough power). I know LEDs consume less power but I don't understand why they would work fine when opening the door but not work at all when hitting the switch. It seems as though when you open a door (or unlock the doors), the lights are getting power from a different circuit than when you manually turn them on. Any ideas why this might be happening? Thanks.

Ha...If I can get em working right I'll get some pics up. Maybe the light-sockets are supplying too much power for the LEDs? I tried Googling this but didn't find anything. I hate electrical problems because they're always really strange and a royal PITA.
