Default Need courtesy light led info

Does anyone know what led to use, I checked super bright leds, under the courtesy light section. There is a pic of there led size specs, but the bulbs I have ahown are smaller in the sockets area. Also pictured is the cargo area dome light.

Where are they going? And what year car?

My 80's dome light takes one of those Festoon bulbs. Use Warm LEDs to preserve the old-timey glow.

Superbright LEDs has a really good conversion chart, enter car model and year, then it will offer compatible LEDs, for most bulb locations. In most cases, the suggestions are accurate, in some cases you can’t use LEDs with a glass dome. All the bayonet base replacement, with an LEDS should work. I have used their bayonet base LEDs on two old cars and did have any problems, except where the wiring for the turn signal / parking lights are looking for resistance.
