Looks like it should be a drop in replacement to the stock filament bulb.

Those type of bulbs are what the visor lights use. The rest of the car will primarily use a socket style bulb, could you provide more details as to what bulbs your changing out?

So u want to replace the visor lights? or the center map lights? The visor LEDs are smaller than those u have pictured and are not pointy in the end. The center map lights are the 194 lights just like the license lights and parking lights as you stated.

Here is the sun visor LED lights I bought for my Z. Got them from iJDMtoy.com they work great and are bright!
