The moon roof dome light is about 5.5 inches front to back and about 4.5 inches wide... Thanks for measuring yours

Just be sure to get a 42 mm festoon with no less than 8-9, 50/50 SMD leds... That will Assure maximum Brightness!

Heres a few Great Options...

10 x White Car Festoon Dome Map 42mm 5050 LED Light Blub 211 2 212 2 568 578 579 | eBay
I bought those for the interior. I also ended up buying these for the license plate:

All I am lacking are reverse lights and cargo lights. My cargo lights are pretty much useless since I have a hard bed cover (which has its own LED bulbs that light up the bed fairly well), so any bulbs I put in the cargo light will be for looks only. As far as I know, the T10 194 bulbs will work in the cargo lights, which are 921 (or 912, cant remember), correct?

The cargo light is a 912 or 921 or T5 as far as I can tell... some places called them a T-10 and T-15 too

A 912 921 & 194, all have the same size base... Led wise any will work, only crucial part is Length....

Those bulbs will most likely be a tight fit for the License Plate, as its a small housing! Something like this would fit best...

Yes any 921 912 or 194 would work fine for Cargo lights!

Here's hoping they fit. I bought them based on another post where someone used these for their license plates.

If they dont fit, no sweat, they were only $6 for 6 of them.

The ones you ordered May fit, just be sure to disconnect the wiring and remove the Housing from the bumper with a medium tipped flat blade screwdriver! As I can almost guarantee, it'll take a litte force for those to fit.

Something like this would be your best option should those not work!

I have a 2011 with the Map lights and need to know how to remove the cover to get to the bulbs. I can get the front part lose by going through the sunglass holder but can't figure out the back of it out. Do I just give it a tug? I was afraid I would bust it.

I googled it on you tube and watched a few videos of how they come out... I took the whole assembly out rather than just the *glass* part

Open one of the sunglasses holders, pull down Firmly... The whole assembly will release, theres 4 clips holding in in place... 2 front and 2 in rear!
