LED interior lighting 2010 super crew.

I know this has been discussed at length but, I still don't know what to order. Could someone please link me right to what I should buy? There are so many hundreds of types out there its overwhelming. I'm looking for something that someone actually has direct experience with.

Thanks

Sylvania has a guide for all the bulbs in your vehicle. Use that as a start point and find a reputable company to replace with their LEDs

I know what the bulbs are that I need to buy. I just don't know who to buy from or what type works best etc. I was hoping someone that had a good experience with a certain type could share with me. There are hundreds of retailers out there, I spent an hour online last night and got so confused I bought nothing.

v-leds is a great store, but very expensive. superbrightleds.com is another good store, as is oznium.com

SMTs are going to be the best, and high-powered if available will offer more light. most websites list the luminance of every LED

raptor gave you 3 good websites. if you already know what bulbs you need just order from there? its not rocket science bud. what bulb sizes do you need?? i know in my 08 supercrew it took (1) 42 mm festoon bulb for the middle/back dome light and (2) 921 style bulbs which i think is T-15 (correct me if im wrong) for the two front dome lights. and in my 04 reg cab all 3 bulbs were 42mm festoon. i don't think you can get the 42 mm one from v-leds but im sure superbrightleds.com carries it.

i would reccomend order all from the same place and same smt led to keep everything matching.. v-leds does carry the vanity lights for the visors.

i believe your over-thinking the situation a little much. what bulbs are you needing and i'll post some links for you..

This first one is for the map lights, I put in the link for the 5k, I have 5k in my car and it's really nice looking. You could go with the 6k if you want the blueish tint to them. I bought the 6k for my truck first and went with the 5k in my car cause I wasn't crazy about the blue.

This one is for the dome. I don't know if your truck has one or three, so order accordingly. This is also the 5k.

Don't forget these for the license plate bulbs. They look awesome in the 6k. I have the 6k in all my vehicles license lights.

Here is a coupon code for vleds as well. I found it in the v-led coupon code thread.

15% off F754XK

Yes, I am totally over thinking it, absolutley. It's like going to Walmart to buy a blender and they have 95 different types, so you go home without a blender.

I'm not an LED lighting guru, so I don't know (or care about) the differnce in brightness and bulb type and lumens and smts and blah blah. All I wanted was someone to post a link to what I should buy, that they have had a good experience with.

I may have been overthinking, but other people were over answering. Just a link...

Thanks guys

I ordered the 5k ones in the link.

Not too worried about anyone eating me alive, its an internet forum... People take themselves too serious on these things.
