    Ebay is probably the best place to buy LED dome lights. How bright do you want to go? Are you just looking for replacements? or do you want to go all out and really light up your interior? You can check out my interior light mod. It looks like the GenII and GenIII use the same bulbs.

    according to Lights Replacement Guide your 07 use the same lights as my 10. For the front lights it's listed as 168. If it's the same layout as mine then you'd want a bulb that shines straight forward. That's why I recommend this bulb. The door and the visor bulbs are also 168 but it only shines to one side. That's why I recommend this bulb As for the rear dome, the bulb is recessed into the dome light assembly. Thats why I recommend this bulb. The hatch bulb has some play room so you could use these type of bulb or these.
    If you could buy 25 of these and solder them together and fill all of your light's clear covers and really light up your interior.

    I used these for ALL the interior lights. Some you have to work into place. Comes with all types of adapters. Extremely bright.
    Email the seller also. $2 shipping each item is not good, they knock a bunch off if you order more than one for shipping. Dome, doors, rear, visor.

    I also just replaced my rear tail lights with the LED 194 bulb from Advanced Autoparts and they work great. Not sure if I got the best deal but they were about $10 for the pair. They are a single LED that just plugs right in the same houseing...
