LED interior lighting..
Finally did this, I've been wanting to for atleast a year now, just haven't felt like shelling out the coin to do it.
First start, the rear overhead light. Next spring I'll likely end up putting a 3rd row light in there since it's pretty dark in the third row. I'll cut a hole (gasp) in the 01+ headliner and insert it to the back side of the hump that the 2nd row seat light is mounted to. I planned on doing that when I installed the headliner, I just couldn't bring myself to chop a hole in the perfect headliner. lol.. I didn't take any pictures of this one before I swapped (Forgot actually) so, forgive me… the LED is at least 2x brighter. It was just a cheapy I got at Advance, I'll replace this one later with the same ones I put in the overhead console, as those are 4x brighter, easily)
OEM output on the front seats…
LED's
No lights… Can't see inside very well. Those front windows are 5% tint..
Christmas tree, you can actually see how dim it's in the third row… I'll address that in the spring.
I had the exposure set a little low on this one, made them look incredibly blue…
Yeah I know I still only have one doorpanel covered in R/T suede… Shhhh lol Those floor courtesy lights are next…

They were just replacements I picked up at the local Autozone/Advance Auto. I had to disgrace myself down the riceburner aisle (with all the stick on fender vents, hood scoops, decals and such) but that's where I got them. Universal and fit a variety of applications.
I wasn't too fond of the price, at $20 a bulb, but, meh. They'll last forever and they look great. Much brighter too.

I just replaced my interior lights this week with LED's. The front maps were kind of a pain. The LED's weren't 567 lamps with the hoops on the end, they were just festoon style and I had to solder them in. Looks good, though they weren't as easy as doing my F-150, it was well worth the time.
Ebay link, but mine were less than $3 a pair.
