Use your judgement. Obviously don't change headlights and stuff.

Mostly you'll just buy a bunch of 194s and the dome light 578.

Well I turned the light around and it will not work that way? I do not get why all the LEDs will not light up. Like I said when plugged into the map lights all the LEDs light up but in the under the dash step lights only the center one lights up. I would like to know if anyone else who has put LEDs in the step lights has had this issue?

What kind of LEDs are you running? I have been RACKING my brain trying to figure this out. Checked the fuses the wiring and nothing yet. I just can only get that center LED out of the seven to light up so its basically I paid for a 7 LED bulb that is only lighting up with 1 LED.
