I knwo this has been asked hundreds of times, but I was wondering where I can get the small LED lights that go under where my pedals are and the one that goes on the passenger side thats as well under the console, thanks...kus I already got the dome light and I just want everything to match.

Jam Strait makes the best LED 194 bulbs in the market. They are non-polarized as required for all 3rd Gen F-Bodies. I bought both amber and red Hyper LEDs and installed them on the side markers. There are other colors but you have to check around ebay to get them. Hyper red and Hyper amber are available on O'Reilly and Auto Zone.

super bright leds is whom I use. 194 style bulbs is what you'll need for the instrument panel and the marker lights.

I got mine off eBay. More than likely they'll come straight from China.

Re: Interior LED lights where to get em??

I have bought all of my LEDs off of eBay (approx 80% from China) and have only been disappointed with two sets (which I'll explain in a minute). All of my bulbs with exception to the headlights have been converted over to LED (tail light assemblies have custom made LED arrays in them, not the 'plug & play' style replacements). Check these ones out.
eBay Bulb 1
eBay Bulb 2
eBay Bulb 3
eBay Bulb 4
The two types that I've had issues with are linked below.
1. Stay away from the led bulb type LEDs for 194/161 replacements [Bad Style 1]. The are not as bright as the "SMD" (surface mount diode) nor do they have a decent spread pattern.
2. Also, I would stay away from the 2057/1157 style LED replacements [Bad Style 2]; I originally ordered these types for the tail lamps (1 set eBay seller from China, 1 set was from SuperBrightLeds.com). Both sets didn't change much (light output wise) when you stepped on the brakes (and yes, both were dual contact LED replacements for brake lights) and the bayonet bases didn't fare too well. The solder on both sets didn't hold up very well when I attempted to install them (due to the push and twist needed for bayonet bases).
Bad Style 1
Bad Style 2
Lets face it, LEDs pretty much beat the crap out of regular incandescents. There is basically no heat (until you start getting into your 1 - 100 watt leds), amperage draw on one of the eBay style 1 type 'bulbs' is only around 60 mA, output light color is awesome and they have a life expectancy of around 40,000 hours (or 4.5 years of constant use). Definitely worth the change; providing you don't get the crappy ones made by a 10 yr old in Bangladesh.

Re: Interior LED lights where to get em??
I have LEDs in my map light, dome light, hatch light, and under the dash (courtesy lights). I got them all from superbrightleds . They have a vehicle bulb finder, which will show you LEDs that will be a direct replacement.
