Default need help with led cargo light bulbs

Hello to all, I have changed all my interior bulbs to led bulbs and love the look, I am however having trouble finding an led bulb for the rear cargo area, the bulb is a pc168. I hope someone can tell me where to find the pc168 led bulbs or how to convert them. Thank you.

Not sure what bulb it is or whether the rear cargo area of the coupe is any different than the trunk of the vert, however JW Motoring set me up with my trunk LEDs.

He offers them in various colors. I had blue, however switched back to white.

02 vert here I did the footwells and the cargo area on both sides with the blue from JWM and when I showed the wife how it looks in the dark garage she said OMG it looks like a spacecraft inside!

That's when I knew I liked it!

I've been trying to replace my interior lights (194's) with LED lights. Can anyone tell me how you get the clear covers off. I'm planning on changing the floorboard area in the front and the cargo lights in the rear.

I use a credit card to help wedge the lens off myself.

I used a small screwdriver to pry the lens off, e.g. a jewelers screwdriver.

Thanks! I'll try it today with the screwdriver. I tried it before but was nervous about breaking the clear lens. It was on there very tight and didn't want to be pryed off. LOL...
