LED Lighting

Hello all! I recently bought a 2003 grand prix gt, absolutely love it. I'm starting to have some fun with it. Put up some decals, just ordered my HID kit last night, and now I'm looking at upgrading to the more modern LED's. Where can I find some? Will just something like ebay work for the map and dome lighting? I'm also trying to get blue LED's in the footwell, but I want them to stay on when I'm driving. Anyone have any ideas on where I should get this stuff?
 


I bought a baggie of 20 off ebay for like 8 bucks shipped. Only 1 died so far and they are really bright.

Just buy some cheapo ones off eBay and amazon.. And have plenty of spares and doesn't break the bank. Keep the spares in the glovebox and swap them when needed. Spending a lot on some minor like interior LEDs is pointless.
 
The 5 SMD LED ones are a REALLY tight fit on everything in the interior and license plate light. All mine are resting against the plastic, also when you do the trunk. Dont get like 3rd degree burns off the bulb like I did.

The ones I use now are 5smd. I had I think 10 before and it made it unbearable to have the interior lights on. I also prefer warm white as opposed to cool white but the cheap is I have now don't bother me.
 


Here are mine, crap pics they are brighter than the pics tho.

So what bulbs fit what? I see you basically went LED everywhere. Like, if I order some and have extra, will most fit the footwell area? The visor mirrors? Will a 41mm or t10 fit either of them? Those are the tricky ones that I can't find.
 
194s fit everywhere but the map lights/ones by the rear view mirror those are different I can't remember the size. Also the lights in the visors are not 194s but are like the map lights. I also didn't show it but I have one in the glove box too and trunk.

They are the two bulbs in the top right above the baggie for the map lights. The color of them were slightly different of the 194s I got but I don't even notice it now.

Also be very careful removing the things to get the bulbs out, I almost snapped the thing where the map light go into in half. Same with the dome lights in the back trying to get the clear plastic off be very careful and a really thin flst head screw driver helped a lot. Just take a flashlight and look at it real good and you will see how it comes off.

I forgot your 04+, you might want to double check the sizes on the interior bulbs because I'm not sure. Red probably knows, hes a smartie
