Is there a list of what type of LEDs I need for my car?

Sorry guys, I've been trying to search for this on the forum, but nothing comes up when you search for LED. Anyway, I just wanted to know which bulb model/number I need for each replacement. I know I can get premade packs through certain companies, but I'd rather just buy them individually. Does anyone know where I can find a list like this? Thanks.

Use this as a reference:

http://www.sylvania.com/en-us/applic...s/lrgmain.aspx

It will list all the P/Ns.

you might also want to be careful when installing the LED's. I believe a few people have fried their BCM's when installing simple LED bulbs in the dome or door. I believe it was attributed to incorrect placement of the power/ground pins on the LED's or something like that. I thankfully haven't had any problems when I installed my LED's but there are a few that have.

The on site search feature doesn't include words with 3 letters or less.

I usually go to google, and type in what I'm looking for followed by "site:www.ft86club.com" without the quotes.

That's unnerving. I think I blew some fuses doing the license plate lights. Really, I don't know why I did.. I think I somehow touched my flathead on both terminals. I guess we should be careful.

I just changed mine out last week with the full kit from Diode Dynamics (Dome, doors, license plate, trunk and vanity) and had no issues at all. I put the first vanity bulb in the wrong way and just turned it around and was fine. All in all it was an easy process.

I have several Diode Dynamics products on my BRZ (always-on Boomerangs, tail-as-turn modules, reverse lights, doors and trunk lights) and i have had zero issues and many compliments. Watch who you get lights from and do your research and you will be fine.
