Laboy- are you talking about the dome lights that come on when you open the doors or you can click on while you are driving?
Doc is right on the money with what he said, the LED's look cool but they are not practical for reverse lights, simply not enough of a spread to be useful.
10 Sport- Go with the cool white, they are an almost perfect match.

You have to pry off the perimeter frame in the back. It sticks into the headliner with prongs. I had it off a while ago to do the wood grain stuff.
Had the back one off also but that one is easy, you just remove the lens. Be careful, the parts in that overhead are fragile and can easily be broken.
If you r stuck or someone else doesn't respond I could take it off again and look.

I got mine here: http://superbrightleds.com/led_prods.htm
the website is pretty cool because they have a link to the sylvania website : http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...lacementGuide/
this tells you about all the bulbs that our trucks have.
I changed out the Front and Back Interior overhead lights, Reverse lights, license plate lights, and the bed lights (the ones on the third brake light)
It was pretty cheap too, $47.13 including shipping
a bit of advice #1- I initially wanted to only change out the reverse lights to make them brighter so that I can see things better in the rear view camera, then I noticed how cheap they were so I decided to change them all out........BUT the LED bulbs that it tells you to replace the reverse bulbs with ARE NOT brighter than the stock ones, they just give out a hyper white type light but it doesn't light things up more. I suggest that you find some LED bulbs that put out more Lumens but have the same connector.
#2- it is going to tell you to replace the rear overhead light with a RL4410-xHP9 Rigid loop Festoon bulb-Cool White RL4410-CSHP9--Do not use this one!! this one has small loops on each end and it will not make contact with the receiver on the truck.
don't use this type: http://superbrightleds.com/specs/RL4410-xHP9.htm
USE THIS TYPE: http://superbrightleds.com/specs/festoon_4410-x9.htm
-see the difference on the ends?
**overall the LED's really look a lot better especially since they match the LED's that come stock on the Laramies under the rear view mirrors**
Hope this helps

Sorry I took so long, don't have much free time. I put together this list that gives you the OEM part number and the LED replacement from www.superbrightleds.com. All of the bulbs I bought were cool white because they matched the trucks other lights, I went with the highest number of LED's and the highest lumens. You can pick which ever color you want, I would recommend you re-check and cross reference the bulbs again to ensure that it is the bulb you want. The list I put together is simply what I used and what I bought.
I whatsorUsed this cross reference guide:
