I was thinking about ordering those as well. It's a bummer they don't come with the third brake or taillight (brake and turn). Then I would be sold. I'm thinking about doing a set up from V-Leds so I can get colors to match it all

$90!? For half that price you can get a pair of universal LED at any auto parts and get the same effect.

I just did this last week to my expedition. The kit includes the 5 OE adapters:

For some reason or another the kit I bought did not include the socket I needed so I did this:

So I went from this...

C'mon guys, order from Vleds or some other reputable site, not Ebay. Looks like a bunch of BS to me when I look at that Ebay link. Scroll down, it has the reverse light as 2- 9 led bulbs and then also 2- 68 led bulbs. WTF? The description also does not even tell you the bulb replacement #s so you don't even know if they are the correct ones. My .02

Anyone got an idea on vanity light bulb removal? Don't feel like breaking the bulb in the socket.

Yeah tried needle nose and reg. Neither wanted to pull bulb without giving me the impression it was going to explode under the pressure.

Just received my LED's from v-leds. 2010 supercrew. changed out map lights, but how do i get the dome light cover off? Do you insert a small blade screwdriver in the slot that is on the clear plastic cover and pull? Don't want to break anything..

I went with VLeds for the map lights, dome lights, cargo lights and license plate lights. I like the results. Thanks to all!
