I got them from CorvetteMods. Go their website and select LED lights and you should see the cargo lights. Part Number 9479 if that helps. If you get them from other places, I have no idea what the size is. Works perfectly!

Hope this helps!

Upgraded mine as well, and I agree it makes a nice, noticeable difference. I don't think I will update the license plate lights, as I don't see the benefit of making them brighter.

Must have been a special. I tried it, and they want $6.49 shipping on a $10 item.

Meyerweb, I just did a fake order to see if they actually charged for shipping and the form did not add shipping after I entered my address. Try it, doesn't hurt! Because I took time to enter the data, the site gave me a 7% discount to boot!

Those rates on the checkout page look to be a guide, but you won't see shipping until you fill out the form!

I did that, and it showed shipping charges on mine. Weird.

If you don't enter your state, zip, and country it won't show a shipping charge. After I entered them and hit "Refresh Rates" it showed $6.49 shipping.

I ended up ordering from another vendor. Same price, and free shipping. Not a forum vendor, I'm afraid, but I'm not going to pay an extra 65%.
