I had the same problem! I bought some 31mm 6 SMD LEDs off ebay and they didn't fit (as in I could squeeze them in but they gave off little to no light so I don't think they are able to connect properly) so I went this morning to Malz and bought some LEDs (not SMD though) 31mm with similar tabs to the original bulbs, but still they were too big... I have a 2010 lancer so I'm thinking maybe they have made the interior lights 28mm instead?
*sigh* I just want blue light in my car...this is becoming an expensive mod!
why dont you measure the original bulbs?
i just measured mine from an 08 Lancer and the center light is a 31mm bulb.
