LED Dome Lights

I just picked up a 2011 Outlander Sport SE and I was wondering if somone had the part numbers for the dome lights. I would like to change them to the LED's that I saw on a new 2012 Outlander. It was was their LED package mood lighting.
Thank you

Well I found a replacement for the LED map lights here:

When I get them I will report to see how well they fit. Couldn't hurt for $10

Awesome! I can't stand how dark it is in the car and how dim the stock ones are.

the oem ones will cost you almost 200 bucks for their kit, but I picked up a pair from vleds.com (awesome products, used them numerous amount of times.).

Well, it's official, it is now MUCH brighter in the car. The above item works very well and fitment is great. The LED lightbulb is more of a panel of LEDS that has an adhesive backing that you can tape in place. They also inlude all kinds of plugs for different style cars. This same light can work for the trunk area as well.

I used V-leds for the passenger side and it worked well.

Ok, so between here and the other thread about LED's, I have an issue. I got the 31mm festoon's for my map lights. I am VERY sure that a 30mm would fit better, as the 31's are stretching the brackets too much IMO. Also, in my '11 Outlander Sport SE, the trunk light (which I am assuming you are referring to the one on the P/S interior panel under the window, is NOT a festoon at all. It uses a 921 style bulb but smaller. 828 or something, I couldn't read it, but a 921 fits and lights up, but it's too large (and I'd assume hot) for the small enclosure.

Any thoughts on why mine would be different than yours?

I used a 31 mm festoon in my trunk (Had an extra one around). It does seem to be a bit too big but fits fine. As far as heat is concerned I am not too worried about it. We don't use the trunk long enough for heat to be an issue. Just my $0.02.

You are saying you put in one of these:









I wonder why mine would be different, because mine has a bulb that looks like a small 921 (I assume it's a 168 or 194) and the 921 fits in the outlet. Mine is definitely a wedge shaped plug...
