it does make a diffrence. it was cheap i think i have about 10 or 15 dollars in them. I have a few bulbs left over i will let u get.
 
I just got 10 194 LED bulbs for mine. I'll get them installed tomorrow. I just don't know whether to put them in the '96 or the '97. I plan to do both eventually. I've already got LED turn signals on my '96 and plan to replace all the incandescent bulbs on both my Marks. I love LED's!!

I got a 10 pack on Ebay for about $6 with free shipping.
 
i will hold on to them for you. It is dirty as hell thats what happens when its your dd in the middle of winter. Plan on changing out the interior before to long. Thats the same ones i got off ebay. I had to mess with the leads on some of them to get them to work.
 
Is it just 194 lamps that are used throughout the interior? Trying to get a shopping list. Might pick this up tonight and put the LEDs in.
 
I have had mine in for a long time now, their great. You can eGay them for 9.99 free shiping for 20pc 194 bulbs. I also replaced the turn sigals and reverse lights while i was at it on mine. The front ones look alot better now becuz you dont have that ugly yellow halogen when you turn its all white.;)
 
That looks good i did my reverse lights and my licence bulb now after seen how it looks inside i wanna do it to mine thanks for sharing.
 
The door lights are 212 42mm, which neither car above completed. Pick up a pair of 212's and finish the deal FTW

The bulbs are all 194's, except the two door lights which are 212's 42mm. I'm not sure about reverse lights as I didn't change those. Nor did I do the puddle lamps but I'd like to eventually.

194's: You'll need 2 for the rear reading lights, 2 for the map lights in front, 2 for the floor wells, 1 for the glove box, 1 for the trunk, 1 for the license plate.

212's: 2 for the door lights.

The cheap 4 LED bulbs on Feebay mentioned above are too dim for my taste. I installed them, then I ordered another set of 7 Bulb LEDs to replace the 4-bulbs. The 7-bulbs look TONS brighter and cleaner.

Thats the deal with buying LED replacements - there can be one LED on it or 36, they all fit in the same socket. So besides price, the differences when shopping for LED's are light output (brightness) and color.
 
The 212s for the doors are Gen 2. Perhaps Gen 1 uses a different door bulb?
 
This may be a stupid question but when you unlock the car do they gradually get brighter like the factory ones? or do they just turn on?
 
For a Gen 1, here's the shopping list I've come up with. Let me know if I screwed any up or missed anything...

Exterior: 2x 3157 Amber front signal, 4x 3157 white (rear signal, reverse,) 10x 194 (front marker, tails.)

Interior: 11x 194 Rear maps, front maps, front floor pans, glove box, trunk, license plate.
