I found only 2 kinds of bulbs.

These are the reverse I used..Pretty Pricey...But Very Bright!!

Used these for the Vanity Mirrors...Provides a much brighter whiter light.

It looks like they dont sell the 7 watt 194 168 style anymore. I bought 4 of them for them and they were $49 a pair. These below are different but similar in a high power only $29 a pair...

I used them for the top headlight bulb and license plate and under mirrors.

Hid bulbs I got from ebay.

Thinking about converting my 2007 EXT to LED. You think the same LEDs will work on the EXT as on your lade? I'm sure the interior, doors & rearview mirror lights are the same less one set of overhead lights, but my license plate is different. Calle dthe dealer and they say it's a 192 so I'm sure this is the same right?

I have a 08 EXT. Just replaced the license plate bulb with a LED 164/198 bulb.

Any word on the LEDs for the DRLs?

Thank you so much for your awesome guide
This is how everything turned out for me
Hope this helps for everyone else who would like to switch to LEDs
Personally I like it a lot

Would love to figure out what I could switch the DRL bulb with, but it seems like we are all on stuck on that

hey i like the way you installed the blue lights behind the ac vents and under the dash. I was wondering how you did that. I know advanced auto parts sell lights from streetglow but I have no idea where to plug it in....lol

It was actually a kit called Light Glow that I purchased from a local car shop. Its a 7 color LED kit that come with 4 little bulbs and then 4 bars for under the dash. I hooked it up to a 12volt accessory wire that came with my lockpick for the nav. As far as the install goes, it was pretty simple

Click on this link and then scroll almost to the bottom, there are three pictures which shows where you can get a 12v power source.

I am a complete idiot mchanically, but all I want to know is whether I can put platinum style led Headlights that are factory brand in a 2007 Escalade. I also would like to put the platinum style insert under the bumber that looks like the Platinum grill and insert. thanks,
