Ive tried searching and I havent come up with a definitive answer, can you guys help me with a list of what bulbs these items are using? Not sure if I want to use LED's or Polarg bulbs. Im looking for super white without a hint of blue. Any recommendations? I think I found the license plate lights to be 168? thanks for your help

All the bulbs are listed in the owner's manual. Did you check it?

Thanks for the link, that helped out alot.

Anyone recommend LEDs for the license light? I was thinking of Polarg cause they will emit better all around lighting, I know of other LEDs that are round but im not sure if those are strong enough? 2825 seems to be the license light bulb, I was under the impression from another thread it was 168

map and license plate bulbs are 194 (or 168, 2825, they are all the same) bulbs.

Im assuming some have better output than others? which one of the three is better?

don't quote me on this, but i think 194 and 2825 are the brighter bulbs.

EDIT: correction! 2825 are the brightest, 168 medium, and 194 are the dimmest... but the life time of each are inversely proportional to their brightness.

Well I just went on a shopping spree and bought all Polarg hyper white bulbs for license, map lights, dome light and white leds for the reverse lights, and also some Nokya Artic white low beam and high beam bulbs. Thinking about getting the trunk light....

Enough thinking, I just bought it too....close to $100 for all....damn shipping charges haha....
