I recently looked into Dome lights on my 96 Civic CX. It is currently the normal bulb but is isn't bright enough, and wanted to change it up a bit for color LED's. They take one sided plug-in bulbs like this.

I was considering buying a new dome light interior like the one posted below to get a bulb like this.

Basically, I am buying the interior dome light to switch out the dome light switch so I can fit the dual sided bulbs, for better brightness. Unless the one sided bulbs, will be just as bright as the dual sided bulbs. Anyone know from prior experience?

 

Get a panel, it's much brighter, here's an album of the lighting of mine:

 

What is the dome light? Can't I just get an LED bulb and be just as nice?

What is the difference that you have?

 

I got this one for my 97 DX:

in warm white, it looks just the same color but makes the interior like 3x brighter, however I needed to resolder the ends because the original solder broke off and would cause the dome lights to not come on intermittently when the doors were opened.

 

Mines a panel, it has 48SMD's but they're not the same size SMD's as the 12SMD you're looking at. I have no first hand experience to compare the two but since I've gotten my 48SMD panel i highly recommend it.
Also, blue is poopy and is unfunctional, if you want blue lights, install those cheap LED strips. Stick to white colored lighting for the dome light






I was on Amazon and purchased a bag of 20 6-SMD white bulbs for the dome light for $10 and $10 for 20 5-SMD white bulbs for map lights so I can install them all on my family's vehicles . Worth it if you ask me, $20 for 40 bulbs.

 

The problem is that my 96 Civic CX takes the one sided bulbs now those dual sided bulbs and the panel would not fit my car unless I would mod it I believe so the big panels would fit there.

 

Theres an adapter for it to fit.


Why does yours take t10 bulbs? Can you take a photo?

 

CO671, yes I believe mine are the T10 bulbs. Here is a picture, of my car's dome light.



Although I found blue LED lights posted in the beginning of the topic for my car, that are t10 Bulbs.

 

What do you need all those light bulbs for???

 

I am pretty sure that was part of his deal, for several for a little price.
