clarification on lighting...
OK so I know there have been tons of posts on this but I searched through old posts and can't find all the info I need. I also looked in the FAQ but practically all the links are broken. So here's what I found out/need to know:
1. I need amber bulbs to go with my front clears. I was told to go to ebay and get the 9 LED or to get them from www.autolumination.com. What is the difference between wedge and dome?
2. To replace the map light, license plate light, and door lights, I need Polarg M4's. I was going to get these from www.customenterprise.com
3. To replace the dome light, I need a PIAA bulb. Does Polarg make a bulb for the dome light too?
Also, between autolumination and customenterprise, I should be able to find all the bulbs I need right?
It would be great if anyone can verify the information above and/or add to it.
Thanks.

Also, can I get hyper white bulbs from autolumination and use them for the interior? This way I can get all the bulbs from one place. If so, exactly what kinds? Their web site is pretty confusing...

i wouldn't get hyperwhite bulbs from autolumination.com ... i tried using their LED 194s and dome bulbs and they aren't white, but rather a purple color, and the festoon dome bulb has HORRIBLE light output...then i tried their glass 'xenon' bulbs (since they were so cheap, i thought, what the heck) and they were an improvement from stock (both brighter and whiter) but not as white as i wanted....however, the 921 glass 'xenon' reverse lights i got from them are REALLY white and REALLY bright...i would suggest them to anyone.
anyways, 1. you should definitely consider getting the 921 9-LED bulbs from ebay for your sidemarkers because they are awesome, and the color wont fade...wedge bulbs are the little bulbs that fit into the socket like a wedge, and dome bulbs are the ones that are round with two leads at each end that are usually used for the dome light in your car (meaning the one in the center of the roof)
2. you are going to need polarg M26's for your 'map light' (the ones that are by the sunroof controls and sunglass holder) and polarg M4's will do good for the others mentioned in #2 (get them from either cusotmenterprise, or www.optauto.com)
3. I'm not really sure if polarg makes a dome bulb, but i heard the PIAA one was very good, so i would just stick with that one.
from those sites, you should be able to get all the bulbs you need. Good luck finding everything!
