So I don't want to step on the toes of anyone who loves autolumination - especially being that this is my first post - but I found www.superbrightleds.com to be a good site too. Now if only I could find some cheap clear corner covers...
Also, I feel compelled to put my nerdiness to use here and point out that it is usually in your best interest to buy a light that matches the color of the cover - i.e. put red lights in your high brake, because the red cover will filter out certain wavelengths of light and yada yada yada sciency junk. Just know it will typically be brighter if you match color of bulb and cover. Obviously clear is an exception.
Thanks to everyone on the site for the great info so far!

Well, I ordered 6 bulbs from www.superbrightleds.com last night - I think I saved about $1 to $2.50 each as compared to autolumination. Of course, people here speak of great experiences with autolum, so I'll be sure to let everyone know how smoothly things go with sbl.

how would you know if your car has HID's. from what i can see there are bulbs in all the lights. I wanna upgrade all the Headlights to HID's and LED's in the tails.

Nobody ever really answered the question earlier about the bulb code for the ashtray light. I've just pulled mine and it's definitely not a 194. The wedge is much smaller than a 194. I'm guessing that it might be a 24/74/NEO type, but at this point I'm unsure. I'll probably attempt to order one and verify... If anyone can confirm or deny this prior to me placing an order, I'd appreciate it. Thanks
