The other poster posted the same link for the dome light but it seems you bought different ones for the map lights. Can someone confirm both of these are direct fit replacements?

Both of them are the correct replacement bulbs. Bulb #194 for the maps and #578 for the dome.

Sorry. I was looking at the other part numbers and skipped over 194.. I went back and it was indeed listed as a 194.

Ok help me out before I go spending the money. I have a Supercrew. My rear dome light has 3 separate bulbs in it. One for the dome and 2 reading lights on switches. They all look the same. Should I just purchase 3 of the dome lights and then the 2 lights in the map light set?

I ordered mine a few days ago for my supercrew. You need only one set of map lights (194) and three of the 578 dome lights. The two in the rear that are on switches are the same as the rear dome light.

I also ordered two vanity lights for the two lights on the visor.

jdtech is right, I had to place a second order because I didn't realize I needed the two reading lights in the back.

I received my first order today! Will be doing the swap this weekend.

For those of you that have the reading lights in the back on a supercrew, do you also have a sunroof?

I think if you have the sunroof you only need 1 rear bulb. If you dont you need 2. That is what I have got from reading this thread.

2009 Crew cab, no sun roof.

For the sake of argument, here are the map lights in my front housing.



And here are the three lights in my rear housing. Dome in the middle and reading lights on each side.


So I would need three of that one type of light and then just the pair of the other type.

Jordan, I work from dark until dark, so i am going to do it during the day so I can see what I'm doing.

so, I ordered (because I didn't look closely enough) the set to match the front map lights, for the back reading lights, which based on the pic posted by Aggie is incorrect, so I will have to order another set of the correct type for the reading lights in the back.

I will swap the two front and the center rear (the ones that come on with the doors open) in the morning.

Now I have an extra set for the front for when they burn out in 2023 LOL

EDIT - ...And I do not have a sunroof
