I think mine were 9 SMD festoon contained, my friend ordered them from Ebay, so i have to wait to get the exact spec. If not, i will go and take a pic in the car, i'm shocked i never took a pic when i got them.

You can't see the panel at all I have it wedged between the festoon mount and the switch and I feel it looks more uniform because the light is projected from the middle instead of the sides. Either way is fine, I had that style before but I just wanted it a little brighter as I am always doing audio installs at night.

That's good if you can't see the led panel through the lens, i know my friends car has that style and they show
Yeah, i have to say, it's a *lot* brighter in the cabin with the replacements, i was impressed. Feels normal now, but compared to the filament bulbs, it's night and day.
I have to say, i certainly prefer the festoon style just for ease and cleanliness for install etc.

For those looking to do this, look up what I posted above. If you click the links above, you won't find them after the links expire at eBay.
Also, if you have a 03-04, the festoon bulbs DO NOT WORK. The internals are a little different inside the vanity mirrors, so I'm guessing this is only for 04.5 and up.

I honestly don't see why they would change at all, so i'll take a stab in the dark and say yes?
Here's the place i got them from, pretty fast shipping too.

For the dome lights I used "Universal Interior Dome Map SMD LED Light Conversion Kit T10 festoon" and they fit perfectly as it comes with 3 different cables and the one that fits the Z is spring loaded so you can just squeeze it til it fits in and then snap it in place.
Since I necro bumped I'm going to link a gallery of how the lights compare -- https://imgur.com/gallery/i9sWI
No pics of the vanity light behind the diffuser as they're too big to actually fit in properly I need to order some more still.
