Does anybody know if the C6's dome and map lights are all wedge type bulbs?

Just an FYI, if you’re planning to change your interior lights to LED bulb the trunk light must be error free LED bulb. It seems (it only my opinion based on wire diagram) the car wiring for the trunk (that including trunk light with license plate light) get checked by the car computer for errors. I was going crazy using standard LED bulb and the system would kill the power to the trunk. Just receive a set of error free led bulb from http://store.ijdmtoy.com/ and everything is working now. I’m just trying to save someone else the headache.

Both have different style.

For dome light bulb style see link below:

map lights style see link below:

both links are for reference only, I'm not pushing website. Also you could use the link below for reference in the future.

john_S6, according to that sylvania website, both the dome and map light use 64111 bulb, so I need 6 of those LED 64111 altogether? I dont really like that sylvania website too much, I find that they are not right all the time.

I just received this kit and installed the dome, map, and visor bulbs. The dome and map lights are exactly as JohnS6 described.

I tried to install the license plate lights but couldn't get those working.

Nope, see the weblinks I provided for reference. You need 4 LED Bulbs (two for the dome and two for sun visor) and another 4 LED Bulbs (two for the maps lights and two for back seat lighting). Then you need 6 wedge LED bulbs (one for each door, one for glove box and one for the trunk), trunk bulb must be error free bulb.

I noticed that the dome lights are not the same length as the visor lights... they are longer. The visor light and the license plate light are the same size but the license plate light requires a resistor otherwise it will throw a code.

I have an 08. I don't know if they changed during mid cycle. But the sylvania site is wrong.

john_S6

That is correct, about the different length. I forgot about the small oversight.

This is the list of bulbs you need for a C6 Avant. I also listed the amount of bulbs and the which socket you need.

Note that I've got an Avant, in a sedan the trunk lights are a bit different (only in amounts, the socket is the same)

I used led lights of the brand; Pilot. You can find them at this website with pictures to see which bulb corresponds with the table.

That should be it, if you want to do the make-up/sunvisor lights then you should use 2x the "Pilot – C5W – 37mm – 2 SMD". These are festoonbulbs with the size of 37mm.

Canbus led
The only led you need with resistors to bypass the Canbus light checking system is for the licence plate lights. You also need 2x of the "Pilot – C5W – 37mm – 2 SMD - CAN BUS"

I think thats it... I'm finished with my conversion, hope this helps you guys also with your conversion!

Thanks SkyBuMp, john_S6 for the info.
