Not to chime in without helping out too much but, superbrightleds.com is a site recommended to me from a few other members on here and they have some great quality lights and many different options for each section of light. If you visit their site (like I did) you can enter the year/make/model in the vehicle finder section and they will show you all lights compatible with your truck and I purchased enough for the whole interior, couldn't be happier and would (most likely) not buy from anywhere else in the future... Hope that helps a little.

I have used them for a couple of vehicles including my Navigator.

I used the Philips brand LEDs from Pep Boys. The size/type are as follows:

*Front map/dome - 194/T10 wedge. Due to the reflector shape you will want a SIDE FIRING style bulb. Anything with a single LED on the top will not work and will be extremely dim looking.
*Turn signals and puddle lamps - 194/T10 wedge fit and work just fine, but I think the stock bulbs were larger
*Rear license plate - 194/T10 wedge
*2nd row dome and cargo area - festoon style, I think 47mm. Not 100% on the proper size.

Vanity and glove box - no idea.... I haven't changed them

I did just that, and in the process I damaged the instrument cluster which now constantly draws 500mA and thus draining the battery.... I do not know why, many has put LED interior lights in their truck but apparently it can be a quite risky thing to do.. I have a thread where I am in the process of troubleshooting it and will attempt to repair the instrument cluster instead of replacing it.

I was reading into that, just didn't want to thread jack you. I'm not interested in the instrument cluster. Thanks for the info!

Is yours a 2005 or 2006? Not sure how the interior lights are controlled in '03 and '04 since they have a different instrument cluster, but the interior dome lights in '05 and '06 are controlled by the instrument cluster. Which means that when I replaced puddle lights and the interior dome lights and map lights, the damage was done to the instrument cluster. I did not replace the lights in the instrument cluster, now I don't think it's worth the risk to do any of those in LED. Granted, turn signals, brake lights and stuff like that are just on/off controlled by relays and switches, no fancy circuit. But the puddle lights and the interior lights are different, they have this soft on/soft off dimming feature, the circuit controlling this is internal in the instrument cluster, and apparently it's very sensitive to the load it receives....

mine is an 04. that's strange i guess i misread it. I thought you had done the leds in the instrument cluster. I ordered the lights but now i'm nervous about it. is it still messed up when switching them back to the old ones?
