Default led interior light questions

Ok so I ordered this off ebay after seeing several post about it having all the leds needed to swap my interior lights to leds : http://www.ebay.com/itm/150793635333...84.m1439.l2649 The door lights fit fine, but the dome and rear lights in the ceiling of my screw don't seem like they fit.. How are they supposed to be put in?

The dome lights need 578 festoon bulbs

You'll need two sets since you'll need 5 bulbs

Hey Browning,you should start selling LED kits for our trucks. Just get every bulb you need to convert everything to LED and make $5-$10 off of it just for being quick and easy to buy from you rather than track down different bulbs on Ebay from random sellers.

I'm considering it. Might be doing it in a couple months, I just gotta figure out the demand and how to supply.

thanks for the link, half of the bulbs I received in the first place didn't work when I tried to do the rear 3rd brake light, one outlet gets hot really quick with regular bulbs but wont come on with the leds.

LED's only light up one way, flip them over and they will come on.

Try to get a bunch from someone in bulk for a decent price and start an Ebay store and start selling them here and other forums also,I bet you'd get some business. I'm considering posting up on Craigslist that I can tint tails and swap all lights to LEDs because people are too lazy to do anything on their own anymore,they'd rather drop their car off and pay someone to do it.

They really are, I make my money back so easy on LED strips by installing them for $20
