Default License plate bulb number to replace them with LED

I would like to replace the bulbs that illuminate the license plate. Does anyone know the part number and where I could get some LED bulbs?

I saw a Lexus with it and I liked it so I would like to do it as well. Purely asthetic.

I was at Auto Zone looking around one day. In the bulb "department" I saw LEDs all lined up on a rack with a conversion chart to convert regular incandescent bulbs to LEDs. You might check that out. I wasn't interested at the time, but I am now that you mentioned it!

Awesome! Thank you very much, those are the same bulbs my prelude used and they're pretty easy to find. Thanks again.

changed mine... interior also... all of them 194...
trunk area i used 3watt LED's (i think it's too bright now)

LED's 194

i used the super star (9mmx22mm) for most and the super star (10mmx26mm) for the floor... i was going to change the color but stuck with the white ones....

a super white incandescent bulb has a different light its white too(not yellowish) I've used them in the past....

LED technology is a lot better now days...



Cargo area LED's
