Default Need help finding something simple

Hello,

I have a 2015 corvette stingray Z51 and I am having issues with finding a few things. I am trying to swap out the stock bulbs in my car for blue LEDs. I can't find the correct LED for the map/courtesy light, glove box and footwell. I purchased a kit from a website saying that they will all fit and only the cargo area was the correct fit. I did research again and purchased more bulbs to try and replace them. Still the wrong fit. I even went to my local chevy dealer parts department as he could only find the license plate bulbs lol. After 10 minutes he gave up.

So if anyone could offer any help it would be greatly appreciated. This is a pain in the A and starting to really irritate me because I can't locate these myth LED bulbs lol. Thanks in advance!

Your more persistent than me. The lighting that came with the car is good enough.

When you say "blue", do you really mean blue or "bluish tint".

If the latter, they're actually clear LEDs

(did mine in the cargo area and license plate - 4 total)

Changing the map / courtesy lights and glove box to a true "blue" light will make it more difficult to see whatever you are trying to illuminate. And - that's a good thing???
