i did it and i regretted it.
i bought mine from vled;s it worked perfect but when it was in there whenever you closed the door the bulb would like flicker because the bulb would cradle because it wasnt a tight fit. people said to bend the terminals to have a tighter fit. i did that and the terminals got messed up. so i put the stock bulb back in and the terminals were bent it wouldnt give enough power so sometimes i would open the door and the light wouldnt be on id have to hit the headliner so it would go on

i bought a new domelight housing and didnt use the led bulb
i have it around somewhere if someone wants to buy it

which looks ESACTLY like the bulb in the car...will it work?

hey man are u sure the reverse bulbs are 194s??? cuz i looked at mine today and they dont look like 194s??? if that was true then the same bulbs that the license plate use would work in the reverse light sockets??? hmmmm :think: I have a 06 LS model 2 door???

Nope the reverse bulbs are 921.
They look like a big 194 bulb.

which ones did u get?

I ended up ordering 4 - 194s one for the licesne plate light and two for my rear side markers which and one for a spare

for the revers bulbs i ended up ordering 2 - 921 bulbs which work and look great!!

and i got the festoon LED bulb for the interior all of them look GREAT! but im pretty sure i gottta order three more 921 for the rear highmount brake light bulb because i took them out and there the exact same as the revers lights ??? alothough i never tried the 194s in them.....???

one more question boys is it possible to repalce the rear Brake light bulbs with LED bulbs?? i couldnt find the bulbs on superLED site?? hmmm the chart says the bulb is a 4157 although I never found these bulbs on the site???
