Nice. I've seen led replacements that are a good bit dimmer than the standard bulbs. Are yours bright enough? I'm thinking that there are brands to be avoided in led lights and I haven't been brave enough to try an figure it out.

I changed out most of my bulbs, including the back up lights last April and they are brighter, Then I added two 6 Blub LEDs in the rear bumper to add even more light when I'm backing in to hook up trailers.
I especially like the interior bulbs. I can actually read maps or papers inside the cab now

I changed them during the day in the garage and the wife said they looked as bright as the OEM bulb. Will have to check it out at night. If they aren't bright enough then I will have to find a brighter bulb.

I've gone LED except for the turn signals/brake lights (I didn't want to take the time to have the dealer change the burned-out-bulb detection settings) and the headlights. All of the LEDs are significantly brighter and whiter (except for the cyclops brake light, of course) than the standard bulbs. I'll be changing out the turn signals/brake lights - and the head lights - in the near future.

I bought all of my interior LEDs on Ebay. Way brighter, than the stock OEMs. One of the kits i got came with replacement LEDs for the license plate lights.

Sorry Dave, I just don't remember, I bought them off Ebay last March. Just get the Bulb type for the Factory bulbs and cross reference them.

It's been too long for me to remember details, as well. I shop mostly on eBay and Amazon. I'm sure that it was one of them.
