Did mine with Phillips brand bulbs, (194's i believe) they work great! nice white lights, they fade in and out as they are supposed to!
if i recall, it was a bit of a bear to get the front lens off to change out the map lights, i had a bent tab that someone had jammed back into place and it hooked up all wrong ended up fixing it with a wrecker replacement.
