194 bulbs IIRC. and you might want to be careful about using LEDs. Because it is such a closed in space with no airflow, they have the chance of getting burned out.
Burning out as is the bulb it self or melting??Originally Posted by aveodude
And if I weren't using LEDs what normal bulbs??
the diode insde burning. And yes you can use normal bulbs. That is what I did.
You can buy any 194 bulb from AutoZone, just make sure that they are actually painted on and not tinted, otherwise they don't come up the color of the bulb...
Never taken apart the stock cluster, but I know in my Probe to change the color you have to take the stock cluster apart and remove the tinting that is inside the cluster itself... you can then either just use the different lights that way, or go to an arts/theater shop and get some of those see-through light coverings (like for spotlights in drama theater) and trim that to fit...

With the aveo, you only need to change the bulbs and not the tint on the cluster. Removing it will make it look ALOT better but is not necissary. Also, if you remove the film, you would want to say away from LEDs because they have a focused beam pattern and will show "hot spots"

Alright, so i'm gunna get a few blue 194 base bulbs, remove the tint from inside the cluster and bam! I just wanna make sure the bulbs will fit into the sockets.
No LEDs ive heard of too many heat issues
id suggest not to use reg. bulbs, or at least not ones from autozone or pep boys. i have red ones in and they keep gettin burnt. the coloring literally burns and slowly the lights turn orange.
You can not commit crimes in a Aveo. Its just not fast enough.
That means you got some bulbs where the coating is burning off.
If you can find some light "condoms", that would work as well.
