I know it's somewhere in the webs but now I can't find it. I need to know the bulb numbers inside the Gen 1. I already know the ones for the front floor board and door panels because I have swapped those out for LED's. Just need to know what the two rears are and the ones above the head. Mine are right above the head, not at the front like my 94 had. The 94 had a moon roof but the 95 doesn't, so I guess that's the reason for the relocation.

I'm also going to put in LED's for the entire exterior. I'm going with 2-5 watt type. No junk from china. I have another rear light bar that I am going to work on installing LED light strips on the top half and bottom half and then it should appear to have the neon look and with them lasting anywhere from 60,000 to 100,000 hours, I should never have to worry about any of them going out for the life of the car.

Does anyone have the link I'm talking about or know all of them off the top of their head?

Some of those look good too. In some places, I need the round style with about 7 to 9 SMD's and one on the top for areas like the rear side panel lights, tag light and I need to replace what I have under the dash because they seem to be shooting a beam down and I want them to spread down there. There are two above my head on each side that I do need a beam out of and then the one in the middle would need to be the bright one and rounded.

I'm wanting to mainly use anything 2 - 5 watts at 6000K. I already have the front corner lenses done in the amber section but now I need one with a beam to it that shines out at the curb when the blinker is turned on. I'm sure I'll need load resistors for anything that blinks or will be using the brake lights. I want the reverse lights to beam also and be around 5 watt. My door panels are taken care of already. I want the interior finished before I move on to the exterior. I'll probably have to get lights from a few different places to make sure I get what I really want.
 
Not that old of a thread but i want to make my reverse lights brighter on my 95. These are the back up lamps right? Can i find bright bulbs at autozone or pepboys in the needed size of 3156? Another question is what brand should i look for?
 
nvm noob question, ill get two backup/ reverse light led bulbs, size 3156 from autozone or something, its not that the reverse lights are dull- but LED's would look great.

I was thinking of these for my reverse lights but haven't messed with them yet. I have to make sure there is room for them but it looks like they would fit, length wise.

They look like they would, i'm probably an idiot, i bought sylvania superbright 3156 bulbs, completely forgot to ask for LED as i didn't see any there. oh well =/ i'll see how bright these are at night, if not i'll return the 2nd pack and buy some LED's off the internet.
 
Those are normal LED's and your sylvania super brights will probably be brighter than those. SMD LED CREE would really put out back there. I done my interior with all 194 SMD LED's. All of them are 5 SMD, except for the two in the rear side panels and they are 9 SMD LED's. Turned out to be pretty bright in there.

This pic is without the two map light switches turned on, so two of the lights aren't even on.

All light is coming from SMD's like this.

I just ordered a pair of LED's off amazon, hopefully they're bright or else i just threw more money down the toilet lol.
