im ordering my lights on friday, im not sure if it is different for 09 to 10, but the only festoon bulb i need is for my dome light, and the rest are 194 wedge type bulbs (map, trunk, and i believe on my license lights as well but not 100% sure)

for the festoon bulb for my dome light, i measured today in my car with a ruler, centimeters then converted to milimeters (1 centimeter = 10 milimeters) to know exactly what size (in milimeters) the festoon bulb should be.

(i suggest you do the same to be 100% sure, cause i feel more comfortable ordering my bulbs now that i have opened all of them up and checked them out)

What ya mean measure it, and does that mean that last link I posted with the Red LEDS will fit on the map and dome lights?

for the festoon bulb for the dome light, they have it in different lengths, so if you order the wrong one it might be too long or too short. the measurement they use to measure the festoon bulbs are in milimeters.


for those red lights you posted in the link,
i honestly have no clue if those will work, because the thing that makes me iffy on those bulbs is the way they are designed. if you open up your dome light cover in your car, and take a look at your stock bulb, you will see what im talking about and how they look different.

i am also new to these light bulbs and knowing what is what, so i am not 100% sure, and you might want to wait for somebody who does know 100% to get a confirmation on that.

a festoon bulb looks like this.
for my car (which might be different from yours but im not sure) im ordering the
'3022-xHP4
31 x 10mm festoon bulb with 4 High Power SMD LEDs' for my dome light.



edit: im actually ordering the '3022-x4 & 3022-x9
31 x 10mm festoon, 4 or 9 x 3mm LED, 30 degree beam' bulb for my dome light because the high power festoon bulb doesnt have the color i want
