Good info but contains an error.

As i just found out yesterday when i changed my front turn bulbs to silverstars, the US STI is using 1157's for the front, not 3457's
i'd bought the 3457's months back, didnt keep the receipt
Also, i dunno why they list the wrong bulb 3 times, i only found 1 in my headlight...

question on the above part, is the trunk area light the same for the 4 dr and 5 dr? i've been trying to find the packaging size of that odd bulb so i can get a LED replacement. i hope thats the one..

im this much closer to converting all interior lights to white leds....

For my trunk light i just used a 194/168 wedge bulb from superbrightleds. The one with 5 mini led's. works fine, a nice bright light. So i got the dome, the maps, and the trunk done. Any i missed?

It might, but it says its polarized. Knowing my luck it would fit, but only work with the LED's facing away from the trunk. I usually buy unpolarized to avoid that kind of issue

If you have the info handy, can you tell us which ones you got specifically because for the dome anyway, they seem to have different sizes...or am I in the wrong section of that page. By the way, that superbrightleds.com page may be the most cluttered page on the web.

You're in luck, i had the invoice lying around in the office
For the dome lights i ordered:
High Power 2-LED Festoon Bulb - Cool White 3022-CWHP2
they are 30mm long

And yeah, their website aint the best. i usually click thru to "buy now", where the page is a lot cleaner and you can actually find stuff
