I ended up putting the other 194's in the license plate spot since i had no other use for them and was also impressed with the light output over the incandescent.

For the rear dome lights i used these: http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED-B...-p9454129.html

The license plate i used these: http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED-B...-p9722412.html

and finally the front map lights i used these: http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED-B...-p8761053.html
Those ones you used for the dome are fine but you really should have got the flank style angled 194 for the plate so the light is aimed at the plate like these.

and the 360 style 194 for the map like these so there is light reflecting of the reflective housing.

As long as you are happy though and they still function that is all that matters.

I would have preferred the flank style for the plate, but i wasn't impressed with their light output in the front map so i figured I might as well just throw them in the license plate slot.

I was actually really impressed by the bulbs I put in for the map lights. The light up the entire interior and match the light output of the rear map perfectly. It probably would have been cheaper to do the ones you put up there, but I'm happy with the outcome. Everyone who has gotten in my truck has commented how stupid bright it is

Looks good! I got all my interior LEDs installed last week. I got all dome lights, map lights, puddle lights, vanity lights, and I finished it off with switchbacks in the front. All in 6k.

Nice. They're great aren't they. Every bulb in my truck is LED with the exception of my headlights/fogs, which are HIDs, and taillights and I'm doing the tails pretty soon. LED FTW!

If its just like an 03 F150 then I used these...
http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED-Bulbs/Dome-Map-LED/White-LED/HID-5K-WHITE-HIGH-POWER-p9454129.html#ReviewsTabAnchor

I had been planning on getting them b4 Christmas but had to wait till a paycheck dropped, ended up ordering them on the 1st...FOR $9.99 EACH!!!! It was great!!

Sorry to say they are back up to $16.99 each now...but well worth it!

The back ones seem a little loose and can cut out if you tap them (or if they move around on a bumpy road, idk only had them in a few hours), so i just pushed on the clips that hold them in and they are held tight.

I've been searching trying to find a way to change my 2011 puddle lights. I can't really find much information, but I think I read it's the same as my dome lights this true? Also, what led for the truck bed light as well? Thanks!
