Default Supercrew Owners

Im looking to switch out my stock dome lights to LED. I got the main dome light out and i think its a 578. But i cant get the backseat lights out. Are they the same size as the main dome light or something different. If anyone has done this i would love some pics so i can see them installed cause the back seat light don't seem big enough to fit a led bulb. Thanks for any help its greatly appreciated. Attached the pic of the main dome light i removed is that a 578?

The back ones are the same size. You can pry the lens out of them to gain access to the bulb. It snaps in and out.

I just swapped in some green led strips on a friends truck and I popped the old out with a set of right angle needle nose pliers. It's easier snapping them in than taking them out

Those look good, the maps are festoon bulbs too I think. The doors were the 912's

I popped the entire piece out then took the back off the lens. Makes it a little easier to get to. I put in all LEDs in my interior lights. They are 10x better.

Took off the dome light and looked you are correct they are 578 also. What door bulbs are you referring too?
