I have replaced the Map / Doom and License Plate lights with LED light bulbs.
But is having trouble with the trunk light. I think it is T5 (instead of T10 like the license plate lights).

I found some LED lights came with a few pigtail for different socket types (T10, Festoon, etc)... but none of them came with a T5 pigtail.

Since this is new car, I would like to try to avoid messing around with the soldering and the existing socket.

Did anyone replaced the trunk lights with LED? What did you use?
where can I find a T5 pigtail? (tried a Google search, but with no luck).

Thanks.

Not sure where to find a T5 pigtail but I just installed my LED's from CorkSport and it came with a T5 wedge for the trunk.

you purchase the led kit that comes with all of the bulbs? I was thinking about getting it but shipping is a little much i thought...

Is the T5 came with the CorkSport kit are something like this? .... http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.34609

The OEM bulb in the trunk is not bright enough. That's why I want to replace it with something like this (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.18060).
Maybe I will buy both and add a pigtail to 34609 and use it to connect to the 18060.

The trunk one is a 194 bulb in the sedan. so it should be the same as the one in the license plate. just search that and youll have way more options as to where to buy them and the price.

It's a mini-194. It's half the size of the license plate bulb.

hmmm. i had gotten someone to test fit the 194 and the D35 bulbs in a 2010 when i did the GB last year and they all fit fine. i think that maybe if you want to put the cover back on you might need a mini one. its what i had to do with mine (2004). the bulb was too big to put the cover back on. but i could be all worng though haha
