I don't know wha the repalcement bulb is, but let us know if you find some led replacements. Those bulbs get too hot if the door is open for a long time. I'd like to use LEDs there, too.

Yes, those will work. I have white LEDs in my doors, overhead console lighting and license plate.. All super white and I highly recommend it for a cheap update.

Bought all my LED bulbs from www.superbrightleds.com They also carry high power "flat" LED festoons which I use for my dome & trunk lamps. Def. worth the upgrade. It's all about the lighting....
