Map Light Bulb - Simple Question

[DreamN]

I've been trying to figure out what bulbs I need for the 240SX map light. On the Sylvannia site it shows it to be a 158 which means I could just use some 194 LED bulbs that I have from SUPER BRIGHT LEDS home (http://www.superbrightleds.com) and it should work, but the issue is when I take out the bulb it's not a 158/194 bulb. It's not a wedge bulb at all but a round base bulb.

So my question is what bulb is it that I need so I can order some LEDs for my map light. Is it possible that it's a wedge and I just need to separate it from it's round base?

Part number is 26430A, got it from courtesy parts.

I wish I could have gotten something that nice from my fucking festoon from JVD. All I got was really shitty blue light. :(

I already have one those high powered dual led festoon bulbs for my domelight. I'm talking about the map light. Cars with sunroofs had them. They're at the front of the headliner and have two individual lights. They're suppose to be wedge bulbs according to the sylvannia site, but I checked them out and they're a round base. Just need to know what bulb it is that I need.

I have these Luxer ones on my S14. They are great!!



The problem with the map light is that the position of the bulb is at the wrong angle, so simply getting an LED bulb wont give you enough light. You will have to get the bulb-to-LED board conversion.



These pics are for the S14. Not to sure if it will work for S13s or not.

I've tried an LED bulb in my car before but it didn't light up that great so me and my friend made our own LED boards and just fabricated to fit inside the dome light. I used 24 LED's for mine.

I'll try to get some pics of what it looks like soldered up. Here's pics of the results though.

^ thank you! +imag-rep

thanks to the rest, but you were all to focused on what you've done for your interior lighting rather than actually reading the original post.
