Anyone can give me bulb sizes or if anyone has changed their bulbs for the interior of their 2010 Mazda 3? I'm looking into buying new bulbs with colors but i don't know what sizes to get.

Did you check your owner's manual?
I think the info is in there.

It does state its the w5w which I think its the same as the 194 light (or at least 194 works), just get an interior light that's 30-31mm in length and it will fit. I just recently installed led's in my map and dome lights, they are the same light, which I believe is the same as the previous gen dome lights. The trunk light is the same too.

just open up the light and take a look at the bulb, you will get an idea of what you need.

the trunk light seems to be a wedge type of some sort. not a festoon. The only reason i'm asking is I don't want to buy a wrong bulb that's all. Sorry I like to have the right info

W5W bulbs are not the same as 194s,even though they are the same family of bulbs
W5Ws are also known as 2825s... they are 5 watts instead of 4 watts in 194s... usually W5Ws are built better than 194s... this is on top of the fact that they are brighter than them

this is not common knowledge and everyone thinks they are the same... so there's many cars on the road with mismatching brightness of bulbs or just a set of dimly lit lights
