  • Interior Lights. How Many and What Kind?

    I do not post much on here but I will try to make it simple.
    I want to change all my bulbs out in the interior of my 1999 camaro.
    After visiting a couple of sites to buy the LED's all I get for reference is the Sylvania list that tells you what type bulbs there are in your vehicle. However, they do not tell you how many and they are just a little vague on the specific location.
    What I want to do is replace ALL of my bulbs in my interior and only do it once. I do not want to have to go back and order more bulbs and take my dash apart again because I did not have enough to replace them all. I know that some are like 161's and 194's etc.... But how many are there?
    Also I saw a thread where someone replaced the bulbs behind the AC knobs and the others in that area by sanding down the LED's and other things to get them to fit. Do they not make direct replacements for these bulbs in this area?
    Anyway, I have looked on search engines and have not found any schematics or anything like that so this is my last resort.
    If this has been posted somewhere else please direct me but if not can someone please help me out. I really want to do this and I have found a couple of great sites to get my LED's I just need to know how many I need.
    Thanks!

    99 camaro - off the top of my head the rear view mirror is a 211-12 festoon bulb. you will need 2. The gauge cluster you will need i think it was 5-7 of the #194's. The Hvac controlls you will need 2 #74 bulbs. The little courtesy light on the door handles you will need 2 of the #74 bulbs. The shifter is 1 #74 bulb. The headlamp control people usually solder in a led since there is no replacement. The dome light is i believe a 561 bulb you will need one of them. The only place i ever found that was a place called Dav electronics. google it. I think thats about all. let me know any more questions

          Tom rs --- I have seen most of the other things everyone posted but you helped A LOT!
          You gave me exactly what I needed. The number of lights I need to buy!
          Also thank you very much because DAV electronics makes the THIRD place I wanted to find for LED's. I had the site a long time ago but I never saved it and I couldnt remember the name. THANKS!

          BTW these are the others and I believe one has an alternative to the 561 just FYI! I hope these help the others wanting to convert their lights.

          96firebird311, thank you anyway but all you gave me was a paste of what sylvania had. Your effort is appreciated though.
