So I decided I needed to replace the stock interior lights because they are totally pointless because of how dim they are...anyways I was thinking about buying these for the dome lights;

But I was wondering if there were lights I could put in the little circle lights...

Let me know if I can buy something on ebay to replace them or how it works...

Thanks!!!

The led light in the link you put isn't going to work. If you remove the cover on your dome light you can see the bulb in there has two hooks holding it in. My brother got an led bulb from super bright leds.com that worked, i'll see if i can find a link.

For the map lights (round), i believe they are 168 bulbs. So just look for led 168 bulbs, and i suggest getting 360 degree bulbs because the bulbs holders aren't lined up straight with lenses.

Couldn't get the link to work, but i found an image of the dome light bulb i'm talking about.

My son has a 92 XJ. Since we do not woory about looks anymore, I bought a tractor light at NAPA, wired it to a separate switch on the dash and glued it to the ceiling. It works just fine.

Just put your vehicle info in the vehicle bulb finder and look at the trunk/cargo area bulb. That should set ya up.

i went to autozone & took a trip down the isle with all of the LED light sets. i bought 2 sets of i believe they are pilot lights. i simply glued them to the trim under my headliner in the rear cargo area of my xj. i used female blade connectors to the rear dome light.
i used another set of the pilot lights & installed them in the 4 spots on the overhead in the front.
1 last set i used to light up my floor areas.
i have some pics but i havent figured out how to upload them yet. sorry
