interior lights

I'm looking into replacing all my interior lights with LED lights. and I was just out lookning at all the lights and holy christ on a cracker, it's not as easy as it should be.
1: The lights on the roof console are not just pluged in. The little wires that bend around the bulb have been straightened and then bent over the fixture. just like replacing a christmas tree bulb.
2: The two lights above the center seat is put together so that you need about four hands and a couple flathead screwdrivers to pry apart the two pieces.
3: The back seat light has three bulbs and you need a phillips screwdriver to get to two of the bulbs.
4: the cargo bulb is real easy to replace, like they all should be.
Here is a picture of what I want to replace the stock bulbs.

SOme others have posted that the LED's don't have as much light as the regular bulbs. I have an 08 Lincoln MKX and it came with LED's and it's plenty bright for me.

On my way of doing the same to mine. I just replaced the brake, reverse, and front turn signal with LEDS. Still have to do the sidemarker and third brake light.

I havent eveb started the interior lights yet. Just looking it seem to be a bit of a project. More time consuming than anything.

What number LEDS did you put in? And were they all the same numbers? I would like to replace the running boards also. One light is already out on them.

Thanks
