Hey, check this out. Watch the video. When they take off the glove compartment at 3:17 he disconnects a lil' wire, that's the small 74 bulb that should be replaced.
http://www.infinitihelp.com/diy/gsed...dure_video.htm

The bulb can be purchased here:
http://v-leds.com/24-74-LED/White-LE...orLanding/true

If you want to replaced the bulb on the upper glove box, you should reach behind it after removing the glove box and feel for a wire around where the bulb should be. If you look at the bulb in the upper glove box, you'll get an idea of where to feel around in the back for the wire. When you find it, it's locked in much like the bulbs in our clear corners. Simply twist and pull it out. The bulb is a 194/168/158 bulb and can be purchased here:

Have fun!

if you are putting LED's in the blinkers, make sure you add a load resister to each blinker, or else your blinkers will hyper blink.

Well, I just ordered some LEDs for my reverse lights. They'll probably be here by Monday next week.
I looked up which bulbs they are, and Sylvania's website says they're "921" bulbs.
When I looked up what 921 bulbs looked like, they looked very similar to the "194/168/158" bulbs.
So... what I did was... I took the "194/168/158" LEDs from my license plate lights and stuck them in my reverse lights.
Guess what... it works.

The bulb I currently have in my license plate lights is very bright and pure white. No blue-ish hue to them.
It's a high power surface mount (SMT) LED.
V-LEDs.com is beginning to utilize SMT LEDs which are much brighter and have a much more pure white color. Rather than those less bright, blue-ish white LEDs.

I've purchased the following LEDs to install in my reverse lights:

The LEDs I currently have in my license plates are very similar to the ones here:

^ +1, The 1 Watt LEDs are definitely bright. That's why I've bitten the bullet on the 1.5 Watt LEDs. Hopefully they're as bright as I hope.
