Overall, this is an easy DIY, took a couple of hours, but I think it was worth it in the end. I went with LEDs wherever possible for color, consistency and longevity. For the bulbs that could not be switched to LED, I just replaced with an upgraded version of the original standard bulb. For all the W5W/T10 bulbs, I think any brand would work, but I went with Philips since they had good reviews and bulbs for almost all the replacement, plus I didn’t want some cheap LED burning out and starting a fire in my dome lights. Also, the Philips bulbs are bright enough without being blinding like some other brands.

Install Notes
- PrecisionLED has a great YouTube walkthrough of the interior, license, and rear light LED installations
- For polarized LEDs, you may need to reverse the connection if they don’t come on initially
- The glove box bulb is a pain, but not impossible, I just used a tiny flat blade screwdriver to pop it out.
- Front turn signal bulbs are odd, uncommon and expensive, so I didn’t bother replacing them
- Front fog light LEDs are expensive, and I rarely use them, so I just upgraded the existing halogens
- Replaced beat up front fog light fixtures, Valeo part #88899 [Amazon]
- Vanity mirror LEDs are thicker and longer than the standard bulbs, so they require a bit of light force to install.
- Front door puddle/courtesy LEDs are the only ones that did not work with the Philips 194LED bulbs. The rear doors worked fine with the Philips bulbs, but I replaced all four for consistency. The fronts are hit-or-miss, I would recommend CANBUS Error Free bulbs or LED fixtures by PowerfulUK or PMLIT [eBay]. When you replace the bulb, regardless of halogen or led, you’ll need to close and open the door before it will work again.
- If the interior lights, such as the vanity or dome stop working, then you probably blew fuse #57. Just replace it with a 10A mini fuse and you should be back in business or better yet, just remove it until all interior lights have been replaced. I ended up replacing it 3 times, twice just for the vanity mirrors.
