Every aftermarket supplier shoes the 158 bulb. Can you let us know if the 658 fits? Or if you have any numbers off the old bulb I can run it through our cross reference.

I can do that and I can also tell you the the 158 definitely does not fit. It's way too big for the socket.

I actually examined the bulb a little closer and it looks to be a #74 bulb. I had thought that there was no bulb in my s model, but apparently there is and I think it might've blown since it doesn't seem to come on even when the car is running. But it's no biggie as I just simply use the map lights to look into my glove box!

The dome number is 3175. I dont see a 3175 but I 3157. So was that a typo?

 

[gameguru1360]

I think they're the same thing, just different type numbers or how other manufacturers label them. Like #194 is the same as #168...

 

[MrHiggles]

well I just ordered 4 map lights thinking they will fit....xD REPLACEMENTS!

NOOOOOOOOOO,

They are not the same, lol. A 3175 bulb looks like an old glass fuse.

MRHIG, the dome light for your car is actually a 175. Do not order 3157.

*edit* 175 and DE3175 are the same.

The map light should be the same for your car. What # did you order?

 

[MrHiggles]

it was a 4410. It said it replaced the 578. Well I took at look at the 3157...yea...it was a brake/turn light.

 

[mikejamesbyma]

hmmmm, 578 is a little different. The book for your car calls for a DE3175, 175 bulb
*edit* ignore the OEM map bulb. The pic is from a supra site.

Oops, my bad! I haven't changed out the tail lights yet of my 09 altima, so now I know it's 3157 for the brake/tail light and the 3175 is the fuse like bulb for dome lights for 02-06 altimas!

I changed out the map/dome lights of my altima and they take the #194/168 type bulbs for LED's.

 

[MrHiggles]

Well I should have opened up the map light to see what I was working with. It seems every light inside the car takes the SAME bulb. The lights I ordered for the step, fits the map, dome and trunk.

yep the #194 bulbs work the same as #168. Also they can be used for the front and rear parking lights. In the front, they go behind that big amber light...for the rear, they go behind the side red reflectors....not that anyone pays attention to parking lights!!

 

[MrHiggles]

I didnt know that :O Well like I said, I got my red lights in. Got a high powered one on order to compare. So far...I need to wait till dark xD to see how they REALLY look.

 

[gameguru1360]

take pics of it tonight!

Yeah I had ordered 2 #194 and 4 #168 from v-led.com and noticed they were both the same!

wonder how it would look if you were to get strobe led bulbs...2 red strobe bulbs for the maplights, 2 blue strobe bulbs for the rear dome lights!!

my LED lighting

I got my interior and exterior LED lighting for my Altima from ez-motoring dot com, super bright and good price.

 

[gameguru1360]

I choose not to get LEDs for the front/rear turn signals as they wear out faster, plus I don't want to hassle with adding a 3 ohm or 6 ohm load resistor. Probably going to use those chrome stealth bulbs

I loaded resistor on my ride for the turn signal, it is all good and fast with T clips, simply snap them in, but just gonna put the resistors in a metal area of your car.

Hey all... what about the little convenience light/ ambient light that is always on in the inside? My is a subtle amber glow. I would like to change it, but I could not get the housing apart that held it in so I do not know the bulb size.

 

[gameguru1360]

I think the ambient bulb is the same as the glove box light: #74. I don't have ambient light in mine.
