Auxito makes a bulb and a whole assembly. I went with the 194 LED bulb. They are the first things to go and left as is the old bulb might melt your housing.

I just picked up Sylvania Superbright led from the local store. In stock, quick replacement.

I am not sure what the 194 signifies other than that is the type of bulb. Probably the socket but maybe others can say.

With that said a 194 bulb is common but you just need to make sure the bulb you buy does not sit higher or taller than the receptacle area. Some 194 LED bulbs can be taller than regular bulbs so you just need to be aware of this.

In my 22 I went with the Diode Dynamics 194 SMD2 LED bulbs, cool white 6000k color temperature, and 24 lumens for the license plate.

I will warn you that whatever bulb you choose to use be aware if they are really bright (lumen wise) they will cause a bright spot and reduce the view of your backup camera at night. the bulbs I posted above do this but its not to bad. I also bought the DD 194 HP3 bulbs in the same color only 54 lumens and they where too bright for me.

Bought these, pretty much same light output if not slightly more. Works great. Went through some other vehicles and swapped out dome lights with them. Current flow is directional so if you install them do so w/ the lights on to make sure +/- is right. You can pay a whole lot more but not really get it. 12 pack, $10

Buy them on Amazon. They're cheap, only takes 5 minutes to change them out.
