Need Help With LED Project

Hey,

I was planning on doing some LED work. I have a 2006 G35 Coupe.

I want to change the following:
- License Plate Light
- Back Up Light
- Map Light
- Vanity Visor Light
- Step/Courtesy Light
- Trunk/Cargo Light

What bulb sizes would I need for each of these?
How do I change the Step/Courtesy Light?
How do I change the Vanity Visor Light?

i have all leds in my car for www.v-leds.com.. great stuff.

1.to change the step courtesy lights you look under your door where the light is.. and you get a flat head and you should see a flat spot.. just pop it out... and pull down so you change the bulb..

2.to change the vanity visor light you open the visor lid. i used a credit card stuck it in the light housing (plastic cover) underneath it and slowly start popping it out..

BAM!!!! DONE!!!

OP, definitely do some searching here for LED upgrades. The trunk, side markers, and license plates all use the same type of bulb. 158=168=194. Also, the door/courtesy and map lights are the same style, DE3175=DE3022. You can put some of the 3x3 bulbs in either location, and I think you can put 4x4's in the map lights.

I just ordered some 194 bulbs from v-leds.com that were on sale, 25% off some of them.

i hate that damn step/courtesy light.. for the life of me, i cant pull it out because first its too hot to touch, still plugged in so i cant pull it out too far out the crack, and then if i find a way to get it out, i dont even know how to make the 12 smd LED fit but i'll get to that when the time comes
