Plate Lights

[Kid Red]

What bulb is it? I am going to get some plate LEDs for my new civic and the wife likes the look and wants them also for the 5. But I don't know what bulb it is. The manual shows you how but doesn't say what replacements.

Are all plate lights the same on all cars? Or does Mazda use a different bulb from Honda (194), etc?

No light in the glove box. Another light issue that often comes up is in the back, many people fail to notice the light that is by the floor. You have to manually turn it on, but there is a light back there.

I don't understand the confusion here, there is a bulb in the glove box. It is on when your headlights are turned on.

Yea, way too expensive. superbrightleds.com is like $5 for the bulbs, but I want verification that the 5 uses 194/168 bulbs.

Just keep the light switch in the middle position and it will turn on when the hatch is open.

Back on track i love the idea of the hyper white look on the back. Fell in love with the look when i saw the new Lexus GS

Actually there is no "middle" position for the back light. It's either on or off. You're thinking of the overhead light above the second row.
