interior bulbs - led replacement?
curious if anyone has seen or knows of LED replacement bulbs for the overhead interior lights.
noticed a few were out when turning them all on, and ive never much been a fan of filament style bulbs in the interior if I can avoid it!

I have replaced all my interior lights with LEDS this year. Ordered them all on Amazon
For the front map lights, you have to buy a bulb socket, as the ones we have are actually soldered to the lamp itself. Here is the socket, it comes with a regular bulb, but you can just pull it out. You will need (2) of these
Here is the Map light LED I used.
For the Rear, they are all Festoon type bulbs, you will also need to squeeze the bulb clamps just a little to put pressure on the festoon.
The LEDs make the interior lights look alot more modern

How many of each led do I need to do the whole truck and ALL the interior lights?
I can't seem to find a straight answer as most guys seem to be doing them in stages, and I want to do the whole she-bang at once!
Thanks!

I hope this doesnt violate forum policy.
User named Txcursion ( not sure spelling is spot on ) hooked me up. I think he just is in to LEDs or does this on the side. I told him which ones I wanted to do he told me an amount to Paypal and I got a neat little package with all the needed bulbs
Sorry for the plug, but he just made this ridiculously easy for me

got most of them swapped out today...love the white light look vs the old yellow tint of the filament style!
only ones left are the two in the center row map lights...im afraid to take this out of the headliner...i didnt actually see a place for a screwdriver to pop the lens off so im assuming the whole thing comes out?
