Well I figured this was the most relevant place to post my issue..I picked up some 1157 LED's from DDM Tuning and after installing them I no longer have my turn signals or hazards but they illuminate when I kick my headlights on. Any help is appreciated!
 
Thread bump. One size of bulb (31 feston, white color) arrived tonight so I installed those. I decided to shoot before / after pictures with my camera in manual mode to have clear comparisons of the difference. All of the following pictures are the same ISO, aperture and exposure, and white balance as well. The only lighting in the picture is only from the interior lighting as well.

Standard trunk light:

LED trunk light and LED overhead lights (map lights are off)

My original overhead lights were different color which cut their effective output. The LED's clearly make a big difference.
 
I was going thru a vendor at first, they were great lights, just to costly for me. Then i went with random ebay sellers to save a buck.

I have the same led in the trunk of my dsm and my Hyundai. Makes a huge difference.
 
The T10 size for the foot lights and glove box arrived earlier. I didn't bother taking before and afters of those, but they also make a pretty good difference. These bulbs are incredibly cheap on ebay.
 
@Bud92gsx were you ever able to figure out what the mini bulb in some of the cluster buttons on a 2G were? I have blown cluster bulbs in my cruise control switch, convertible top switch, fog lamps, and a few others. I pulled the bulbs and have no idea WTF these things are.. took them to my local parts stores and couldn't match them up to ANYTHING.

Those bulbs no i never got around to those. I know there the pull through style if that helps.
I ended up soldering in individual led strips, which didn't turn out so well.

I replaced mine with ones from Radio Shack. The item number is 272-1092. Just take out the old bulbs and reuse the base taking note of how the wire lead wraps around each base. It's not an exact fit for some of the bases of the bulbs, but it works.
 
Since I cannot edit my original post anymore I wanted to add one I missed for years.

The gauge cluster LEDs are t1 LEDs

I repeat gauge cluster LEDs are t1 leds

I realise there are sum missing bulbs, sumone posted a few back, I'd love to get to them, and flip this into the tech article section.
