I'm doing the interior lighting and I'm gettin the M4's and maplight off custom enterprise but they only carry the PIAA dome bulb. I know Polarg makes one I just dont know what the bulb number is. Also, if the PIAA bulb is essentially the same.

the bulb number is 3175 i believe, as far as the polarg, go to ebay and type in Polarg and 3175 and see which matches come up. Thats where i got my polarg. It wasnt very bright tho for being hyperwhite.

I have 2 polarg dome bulbs, didnt like it too much, wasnt as bright as i expected, if you want i can mail em, or if your ever around NY you could let me know. Its not yellow like stock, has a nice whitish tint but its more like a moodlight, not really that bright. but then again i dont really use the dome light for illumination, thats what those map lights are for.

I've got the PIAA dome light as well as the courtesy door lights. Very white light. Never tried the Polargs.

Any regular "white" bulb won't be as bright as the stock bulb since its light is filtered. If you want a bright dome bulb, go to www.autolumination.com and buy their 6-LED DE3175 bulb.

If I buy that, what would recommend to replace the door lights? what about the maplight? (from autoillumination)

The brightest bulb I've seen yet is what I have, 9-LED 194 wedge bulbs. The maplight is BA9s bulbs, I tried LEDs, they don't work for some reason. So I left my maplights as is.

Dome light is DE3022/3175, map light is BA7S. But LEDs for the map light did not work for me, and have not found one that does.

Yup, different #s for the same bulb. Also note that the bigger 921 bulb will fit in a 194 socket. The 921s are 9-LED and thus the brightest.
