Didn't try that, I tried different ones though, unless I placed every single one wrong (crazy odds). I'll try again after breakfast, thanks
CHEAP white LED upgrade!

I did have to wiggle some of them a bit to get them to seat and light up. Hopefully they stay in place, and don't come loose easily while driving.

Well I feel like a dumb a$$, I guess I tried every single one on backwards last night.

How did you get to replaced all four doors, map and license plates lights with the same type of connector?
I only got 6 of this:
and 4 of this:
Only managed to swap map and front doors, skipping the rear doors so I can use them for the license plate instead. Now and I'm left with two of the 12 LED board ones.

I received 8 of the first type (the ones that you got 6 of) and 2 of the second type.

I see
Meh, the seller I got mine from, didn't send the dome style you have in the lower pic. It was a lesser one with 6 smaller LEDs in it. They do show it now in their pics, but I sure didn't see that when I ordered, and I'm OCD examining that stuff. I think they added newer pics, lol.
Reasonably brighter than stock. Wanting less blue and better domes. The Map lights and door lights are truly brighter. A definite blue tinge but liveable. I'll keep looking.
Not sure I'd get these again. Only 15 bucks, but, oh well.

Just verified and made sure I was giving the right info, yes I got the 12 LED board one from this seller. I'm very impressed with the lighting for the price. I was able to replace both dome lights, both map lights, both front door, and instead of doing the rear doors I decided to use them for the license plate lights instead. Now I'm left with two dome light style LEDs, I guess I can save them as spare.
So, they sent 4 dome lights? The 12 LED ones? Would you think the two styles are probably the same brightness as the larger 6 LED one?
Seems the actual same LED surface area between the 12 and larger 6 LED are comparable. So could be I guess. (2nd row, 2nd and 3rd bulb)
I'd possibly like one of the massive dome lights that seem to be on a larger wired card. Mostly for the rear cargo area. May have to look around for one like this style

Yeah, diodedynamics.com has bunch of different LEDs style, I've dealt with them in the past, no complaints. Another is one of the site's sponsor, kbcarstuff.com, but I have zero experience with them.
As far as the dome lights, they might have the same lumes rating, who knows. the 6 LED ones does have larger LEDs on board.

I ordered one of these just to see it. Might light up the cargo area nicely if it fits. I might have other uses around the house as well.

For $5.22? I got one too, it cant hurt to try it.
It appears to be 2.2" x 1.7" I didn't measure my dome, lol... We'll see.
Should be here Wednesday, it marked as shipped this morning. The page changed a bit since I ordered I noticed. It is described now as 6000-6500k so I guess it could be blueish, since other 6000k stuff is sorta blue tinge. Be nice to have more light back there, for 5 bucks can't cry much lol.

Wow.... Put the big $5.22 LED array in the cargo area dome today and as expected, it's seriously bright. Probably a touch of blue, but I'm getting used to that and I'm happy. Have to see it tonight instead of inside the garage, but it's quite bright. Possibly too bright to put in the rear passenger dome. lol.. Wish I could switch it between the lesser 6 LED and the LED array for when I need brightness to look for something.
I think it was worth a 5 spot. May grab more and play with them.

Pretty bright huh? lol... wow... Once it got dark out I was impressed.
I was going to go with putting it in the passenger dome like that, but I just put mine in the cargo area and it might actually be too bright for general usage etc.... Nonetheless, I do handy work a lot and am working out of the back of the truck with misc tools etc and was nice to see like daylight this evening, haha...
I have to brain storm and figure out a way to switch between a normal LED light and THIS in the passenger dome.

So far, I haven't heard anything good about any company's LED reverse lights.
Some people have removed them after trying them it seems. I seriously would like a better than stock solution myself. But, looks like it would essentially require a separate light.
I'm bummed on my stock reverse lights to say the least, I think my brake lights are brighter....
I did see a thread on a modified Halogen or HID solution i believe.
