Default 212-2 LED festoons

I want to get the LEDs on sale right now through our vendors for my entire car, but on my 98 vert the map lights mounted underneath the rear view mirror are festoon shaped, and they dont have it.

anyway, according to the sylvania bulb replacement guide, the festoons are #212-2

quick check on eBay gave me back a bunch of results. Festoons with 6 to 9 LEDs being the most common. They also had festoon plates, but i highly doubt those would fit since the space is tight.

Has anyone ordered LED festoons? can you provide some info as to where to get them from and how much you spent?

thanks,
David

I have the ones you need coming to me this week. They should be here Wednesday or Thursday. I will have them in blue and white.

I have done mine with the white LED's if you need to see how it looks in person before committing to the whole change over.

2 LEDs. Plenty of brightness. See post number 52 in this thread for pics of LED http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=2127665. Price will be a low price of $11.

ive done LEDs before.. plates were always the best (and fit nicely in the 300c map lights) but i dont think 2 LEDs on a festoon is bright enough. going in the map lights, i want something BRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT to light up the entire cabin...

The 212 festoon is not that big.
