    I dont have any association to this seller. I just wanted to pass on what I think is a good deal on a LED package for the Gen III interior lights.

    I got this off E Bay, all bulbs fit perfectly and a much brighter and whiter than stock. I changed the front and rear dome lights, rear interior lift back and all doors. It also had 2 extra bulbs in the set so I have spares.

    I bought from that seller as well. However, the bluish LEDs started to bug me after a while. So I replaced them with "warm" LEDs that give off a slightly yellowish light (like the stock lights) and for the dome, I got something like this:

    It gives off much more light than the one in the kit you linked. You can get these panels in the standard bluish LEDs too if you want. ;)

    Bought these awhile back too, can't beat the price. VERY BRIGHT! tight fit on a couple of areas but well worth the frustration.

    Yeah, I couldn't get the bulb for the dome in. I had to use the shorter one intended for the hatch.

    Questions: These will fit the two map lights in the front and the dome light in the rear seat area, right? What did you do for the door lights, visor mirror, cargo and license plate lights? I want everything to match if possible.

    Contact the seller. He was very good service with me. 2 of the bilbs were a little long so he sent the shorter versions and they fit perfectly.

    I was able to change the 3 dome lights (2 over driver and one over rear seat) bottom of doors and the rear hatch light on the left side back

    Yeah, I also had to contact the seller for another shorter bulb. The one intended for the dome light was too long to go in.
