Default Led interior lights

hey guys ive got a 2000 Cherokee and I want to swap all of the interior lights to LEDs ( either cool white or blue) I planned to purchase through superbrightled. I was wondering if any of you know all the part numbers for the bulbs? so I could just order them instead of taking it all apart first? thanks

I'm guessing you're going to get a lot less light with those

The gauge bulbs are 194, I recommend using 360 degree ones. Here's a pic of mine.

I thought you meant interior lights--not dash lights... if you've ever tried out a cheap LED flashlight, you can see that they really suck compared to an expensive LED flashlight. In the dash LEDs would be plenty though.

has anyone used the flex light LEDs? I've been thinking about getting green ones and doing something with them. don't know how well they hold up outside of the cabin because i assume they are made to be in it.

I ran the flexlights on my bike. They worked great, and you can even cut and resolder some new wires on the parts that you don't need.

ok guys ive been busy lately but i finally did some searching. i found this thread: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f51/li...n-guide-88695/
it says for the front map lights it takes a Single T10. now when i go on superbrightleds and go to map lights it shows me 2 different kinds(even when i search for a 2000 jeep cherokee) and it says nothing about t10. Also for my gauge cluster i have 16 smaller bulbs and 5 bigger bulbs and the 5 bigger have a blue coating on them

i want to do a all led interior. heres where im at:

GAUGE CLUSTER BULBS: it says i need T5 Neo Wedges. what does that mean in terms of superbrightled bulbs? ( i know i want the 360* ones so i dont get hot spots/bright spots
TRANSMISSION SELECTOR BULB: single t10(which shows up on superbrightleds under auto trans indicator but there are many to choose from and idk which one i need)
TCASE BULB: single t10 so the same as transmission bulb
STEP/COURTESY(by your feet): Ba15s whats that?
FRONT DOME: Rigid Loop Festoon. which i found on superbrightleds
REAR DOME: same as front dome
MAP LIGHTS: Single T10. same as tranny and tcase. what do i need?
HEATER/AC LIGHTS: T4 Neo Wedges. whats that on superbrightleds?
REAR DEFROST/REAR WIPER: i removed the bulbs but dont know what i need in led form?

i know im asking alot of questions but i would really appreciate if someone could help me with this. ive got the interior all apart right now and id like to get the bulbs asap. please help if you can. thanks
