I forgot I ordered these and they just showed up. Looks like they'll be going in tonight, hopefully.

I got them installed. The fronts took about 2 minutes, but the rears took quite a bit longer. It's not a hard install, though.

You have to take the housing down, then there are screws holding the little swivel lights in place. Once you look at it you will see how to get the bulbs out. If not I can get a picture.
13' SHO, Non-PP, Tuned by Torrie, Meth injection, 3 bar, 170* stat, custom axle back exhaust, Prosport Boost gauge.
15' F150 Lariat Sport, all the options, 3.5L Eco. (fiancée ride.)

I pried the dome light out using my fingers. Pull down from the back side sitting in the back seat, and you'll be able to wiggle it out. Unplug the power, and it comes all the way out.

Then there's 4 small screws to get the white part off.

After you remove that, there's 4 small screws per side bulb. Take those out and you can remove the bulb assembly. There's then two more small screws to take the bulb out of the dome type thing.

When you unplug the old bulbs, take note of the direction they came out. Orientation matters because of the thin wires at the connection.

After you get the two side bulbs and assemblies out, you can push the clear center light cover off and swap that bulb out too.

Replace all 3 bulbs with the LEDs and plug it in prior to screwing all the small screws in to make sure the lights work.

Reverse for re installation.

This is the top side of the dome assembly. You can see the first 4 small screw locations


Here you can see the small wire I was talking about to verify orientation of the bulb:

All of the 194-5SMD-W are for the interior Map lights and Dome lights, a total of 5 are required for these.

I haven't installed the others yet, but when I do I will update.

Also, does that same LED supplier have 4800-5000K leds? 5500+ is too blue for my taste.

These are the ones that I got:

Also, while doing my first oil change today (with MC FL500S and Penzoil Platinum Synthetic 5W-30), I noticed some pretty decent dents in one of my downpipes. So, looks like that just moved quite a ways up on my To Do list
