Here's a good buy you can upgrade to, or just get for the rear. I have them in my map/dome light and 2 in the cargo light.

36 should be as bright as the ones I have. The 'bulbs' I've got have 18 SMTs on each one, and there are two in each light housing, for a total of 36. I still have my reflectors in, which I modified to allow the bulb to be installed.

Got ya I was thinking 36= SPOTLIGHT. Im liking the way this 12 is working, like the way it lights the cabin a good mix. I have 18SMD for the back for the bigger space to illuminate maybe at some point I would go 36 but we'll see.

wondering which bulbs you used for the cargo light

Have not arrived yet all I have is the two dome sections. Also it needs to be corrected for the thread its a 24SMD universal on ebay (Not 18) it comes with all adapters needed to put it anywhere in your TB but i ordered the higher count LED for the rear because of the gap it needs to fill instead of illuminating a seat basically.

If you can wait patiently you can have your car LED'ed out for $10 easy probably cheaper actually just ebay Trailblazer LED Dome Light Buyitnow > Price Lowest+Shipping and enjoy but your going to be ordering from japan mine came from Chicago in 2 days but I only still payed $8 for all my dome lights excluding cargo

Use "T10 LED" in the search for map/dome lights, and "festoon LED" for the cargo light (they need to be 39-44mm) or "LED panel" in ebay motors (make sure they include adapters). You can add things like color or # of LEDs you want to narrow the search.

I just replaced my climate control bulbs with LEDs this morning. Love the look of the crisp white, and I like how those panels really light up your interior in the pictures above, but I have to wonder... when is it TOO bright? I turned on my lights this evening, and the LEDs really stand out on the dash, so I'm thinking I need to grab a pack of larger resistors and tone it down a bit.

For those folks who have replaced their dash lights, how closely did you match the intensity of your LEDs to the original bulbs?
