Interior LED lighting question

Looking to change the dome bulbs out inside my 2015 truck out with LEDs. I see Recon has a kit (5 LED bulbs) for $120. Any other companies have the 'kit' for a cheaper cost? I'm having no luck finding. Or can you piece it together separately, but if so, does anyone know the bulb style these take? I am assuming, based on the 5 bulb Recon kit, that there are 5 bulbs to replace in total.

Thanks!

I changed out my dome and map lights to LED for about 20$ by purchasing them on amazon. You will need both types and have extras.

Go to Wal Mart and check their LED bulb selection. They carry a wide variety now.

I replaced all my interior bulbs with cheap chinese LED's. Less than $20 for all of them. Well satisfied with the results and going on 2 years since installed.

If you open and read the truck's owners manual, it has the listing of all the bulbs and what type of bulb for each location.

Will you take before and after pics and share them please? I put LEDs in my wagon a few years ago and absolutely hated them. They were a terrible blueish color and flickered a lot so now I'm a bit hesitant to buy LEDs for my truck, even though I want brighter light.

Anything 6000k color temperature and up will have a blue tint I went with the what they call natural white on superbiteleds.com they say they're 4500k they are pure white no blusish tint no flickering issues.

I'll post pics in my build thread (see sig), but I went with the cool 6500k so they will have a bluish tint. Like Mike said, if you go with the natural 4100 or 4500k, they should be white and not bluish color.

I used some Phillips bulbs in the dome lights, Samsung Cree in the cab mount and Phillips in the reverse lamps as well. Pictures and links can be found in thread below.
