This should be an easy answer. So the dome light on my 97 civic 2dr. is dim as love. So I decided to replace it with a blue LED. According to sylvania, I needed a DE3022. So I ordered a set of two on ebay. Here's the problem. my stock bulb looks like this :

and the bulb I bought looks like this

Am I going to need to wire this lover in or what?

Thanks in advance!

You obviously got the wrong lamps.

Check here... Their numbers 3021, 3175, DE3175, 6423, 6428, 6430, 6461 are direct plug-in replacements.

They have never failed me yet. :)

Actually, looking at the pic you provided for you OEM bulb, you have a 194, NOT a 3022. The 3022 is a festoon lamp, so you DID get the right thing from eBay.

The company I linked you to only has the 194 in white. Here's the link to the page...

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
