I ordered em too.. doin blue for the dome lights and white for the map lights. I ordered Superbrightleds.com's 9 LED blank PCBs and have made my own LED light bars w/ 12v input to use in the cab. I figure when I get these bulb replacements I'll stick those in too.

Well I got my lights in.. pretty sick, easy to install. Only problem is that damn 3022-4 bulb... it's TOO LONG. It's probably a few milimeters longer than the stock bulb. Defect maybe?

Just did mine too last night. All blue...it looks wicked.

yeah the festoon bulb is a bit long and was difficult but I finally got it.

I used a thin, metal spatula to pry open the light covers...it was quick and easy.

I did the #74 in the cubby hole too and I ordered a few more bulbs for the accent lights in the headlights...too much fun! So many options!

When you guys did the lights, do they still fade in when you open the door? Or do they just turn on automatically, like a light switch?

Same here. The effect--both the lights and the fade--looks even better in person than the pics. Next step, gauge and console LEDs!

One note: You don't need to pull off anything but the translucent plastic for either dome light, which I found out after the fact. The front 3 lights pull straight out, but don't squeeze the bulbs too hard or you could bust 'em. Don't push too hard when you put them in, or you might break the circuit board. Had I done it the right way at first, it would've only taken 5 minutes total for all 4 lights. Well, if I hadn't had a pint of rum and coke beforehand, too .

How about the light in the hatch, on the left side near the wheel well? Does anyone know the size for that?

I used the blue for the dome lights, they try fade still... pretty well actually. I wasn't expecting them to fade.

But they do light up the entire interior of the car.. it's awesome.

The fit for the rear dome light is very tight but you should be able to get it to sit in there level. It helps to have small hands too.. unfortunately I don't so I sat there for 20 minutes working on the rear dome light.

Yeah I got the white lights to replace the map lights. They pretty much outshine the blue dome lights when they're on. You'll notice that all the lights aren't really daylight visible but once it gets dark out forget about it... easily a couple of times brighter than the standard bulbs because the light's focused. I'm gonna order a light to replace the cargo lamp and the small storage area in the center console too.
