Removing Courtesy (door) Lights

My 99 had the twist in sockets but my friends didn't but we intend to get some from the u-pick -It yard They are also on a lot of GM vehicles My 2001 also didn't have the twist in type that you could just insert a bulb into But it does now

now let me ask you this. w/ these do you just remove the PC597 bulb, insert the 1/2 hole socket & the connect your LED 194 & BAM!!! or is there some other minor modification that needs to be done? & if i'm correct, the glove compartment bulb is a 194 as well?

correct in the overhead lights I haven't changed my glove box light yet but should just be a simple remove and replace

just ordered the 1/2 hole sockets & 5 194 LED bulbs to replace the dome, glove & license bulbs.

oh i'm using white. no need to give 'em a reason to pull you over. also using the same for the glove compartment. i'm actually thinking of swapping out the LEDs that i installed in the 2nd row & rear cargo area for green LEDs. my 2 year old will get a kick out of them.

well, i put 'em (dome lights) in yesterday & i realized 2 things...1) i didn't need the 1/2 GM sockets b/c i i don't know what i was thinking, i just the existing sockets i had in there. & 2), i am going to need the longer 194 bulbs. i ordered the flush mount 194s & noticed they aren't as bright as i thought they would be. nonethelss i'm content w/ the look.
