#74 LED vanity mirror (pics)
here a a few pics of my vanity mirrors that i changed to LED's... it will really light up your face at night... 
almost to bright....
I've used the single LED for a long time a just put the 3 LED's in... it is little brighter.... worth it?... i think so....
NOTE: it is VERY hard to remove the stock bulbs (broke two of four) and the new LED's are set back quite a bit (see pics) and VERY hard to install in the holders (small pliers and luck)
every now and then someone asks about them so i decided to make a post...
i guess I'm lucky i have not had any problems with my LED's on my car... i have changed every bulb to an LED inside and out (except gauges)....
#74 single LED with a little aluminum foil for a reflector....
#74 Tri-Power 3 LED with a little aluminum foil for a reflector....
no yellow bulbs...

pulling out the bulbs are hard - they are slippery - i used thin rubber and pliers - made it a little easier (didn't break those)
i used the 194 LED (arrow)

Just for future reference on how to remove those Map Light bulbs, I had posted a "How-To" thread on the Tech Section. Just get a kite string, tie slip knot, slip it over the bulb using a toothpick or something small to push the string over the fat portion of the bulb, tighten the knot and pull out. Easy as pie.

Pretty ingenious idea

Royal pain in the rear, the easiest way I found to remove it was to wrap some electrical or a some duct tape around it as best you can then use it as a handle to pull the bulb out. It also helps to remove the fuse so the bulbs don't get too hot and you don't get blinded...
