I am doing a complete replacement of all interior bulbs in my 8.

My questions is...Does anyone know if the Step/Courtesy Lights (Bulb #2825) can be replaced with Bulb Model #194?

I know a few people on the forum have replaced the lights with LEDs, the exact LEDs that i plan to use only come in 194 currently.

Any input is appreciated.



On another note... Has anyone ever tried installing Cold Cathode lighting inside the car? Any ideas on the wiring? Would it be pretty easy?

Is the quality better then the site that I was looking at? It looks like the CC Lights are 9.99 vs. 6.99. Just wondering before I place an order...
