Default Interior Bulbs

Does anyone know how many of the small bulbs are used in the interior? Im talking about the size that go in the door panels, under the traction control button, ect.

My car is in the shop so I cant go out and count myself

Yes they fit perfectly... and are plug and play, the resistor is already soldered into the base...

FYI The Neos are polarity sensitive so if they don't light when you first put them in simply remove and reverse...

Autolumination sells em for $2.98 a bulb. Your price is better! Man if you could get them to make the smaller bulbs for the HUD/Dimmer that would really be great!

Are Autolumination's LEDs? Also once the company sees how these bulbs sell the might consider expanding to other C5 Bulbs


The other corvette project I convinved them to do are a new style of C6 LED tails

There is no part number per se... Go to this website;

http://autolumination.com/74.htm

Scroll about halfway down the page until you see this bulb;

Neo - Wedge Instrument Panel Bulbs are 10mm (3/8") diameter x 13mm (1/2") high

*Images*

Order Neo Wedge Based LED Bulbs (shown above): $2.99 ea.

Thats who I got a kit from at 6 bulbs for $50....product was fine, I just decided that they couldnt possibly be that expensive to get from other place. Worst case this other company thats going to produce then (they are very well know for quality LED's) will be about .50 per bulb cheaper than autolumination

I know there will be a demand especially if they can make the smaller HUD/Dimmer switch ones...



The HUD/Dimmer bulb is on the left. I did Red bulb covers to change my lighting BTW...

I have red leds in the doors and they look good! Anywhere else, footwells, trunk etc, not bright enough to see the mats, Just ordered the 194 and flat cluster bulbs from autolumination.

Let me know how you like them, I have the Super Matrix 194 and they are OK, not the brightest but not too bad either... I'll try and get a pic and post it after it stops raining here.
