Glad you brought this thread up. I ordered the ones trust recommended and installed them in both my cars. I love them! I got them in the "cool white" color which looks great and it is very very bright.

^ Do a key word search for "3022-xHP4: 4 High Power LED Festoon Bulb". That will fit your car(30mm or 1.2 inches long). I'll try to get a picture of my car at night sometime.

Good price too.

Thank you, but please get a picture because I swear that would not fit my dome light, it only plugs in on one side if I remember correctly.

Here is a picture I took with a ruler of the OEM bulb. This particular bulb is out of my '99 Civic EX. It is the exact same at from my '95 Civic EX. I'm about 99.9% sure the dome lights from '92-'00 Civics are all the same.

Here is a picture of the dome lights trust recommended and that I purchased/installed on both of my cars. They fit perfectly in both of my cars with no modification or issues at all.


and because this is my thread and I took the time to take these pics, I'll ***** out my cars and photo dump lol.

I think you get the idea... those are the "cool white" bulbs. They are pretty damn bright lol. Definitely don't have any problems seeing anything.

that is bright. glad you went with these instead of the oznium ones. yours are just as bright as oznium and is 5x's cheaper too. also another LED idea. If you haven't already done it get these led's and change your trunk lights. They should use these festoon bulbs as well

btw. kindakota my dome lights didn't use the festoon bulb as mentioned. I had a wedge type bulb. I dont have the bulb size on top of my head but i can check if yours are wedge type bulbs as well

Thanks for posting the pics Racer they sure are bright and look awesome!

Giants hmm yeah Ill check today when I go out to my car and see if they are wedge or the kinds shown above and Ill let you know for sure.

Also a question I have is that I got a crappy LED Red dome light now that is very weak, but also it flickers. Like if I tap the light it will get bright then dull, is it my fuse or what?

It could be a bad connection in the LED but sounds more like a bad connection in the dome light circuit rather than the light.

Wow those turned out great in your car.

KD12... Does it flicker when turned on manually with the switch? Or does it only flicker when activated by the door switches (aka when the door is open). If it flickers only when the door switches are in use, you are probably just getting a bad ground. Take the switches off and clean them out if they're corroded. Also clean off the metal part where the switch makes contact with bare metal on the car to get ground

Like if the doors are closed and I manually turn the dome light on and smack the protective shell the light flickers! And where are the wires for the dome?
