I put the led lights in one of the map lights, and it didnt turn on.

I put it in the little brass clips and tried it both ways, but it still didnt work. Can you help me?

You can buy colored bulbs as well but it will NOT compare to what they are selling.

These are circuit board FULL of LEDS that are bright and look awesome, well worth the money.

To be honest, you couldn't buy half the LEDS needed to make these from Radio Shack for this price...

he had to be kidding because seran wrap would melt, and so would the covers(the colored covers i use i buy from auto zone and i replace them every two months because of overheating and cracking)

and besides everyone knows LED's are better then actual bulbs due to the fact of energy consumption, life span, and WOW factor lol

With the blue map and dome lights is there a drastic difference in illuminating the entire cab from stock? Or to get brighter interior would I need to get the white?

There's a difference. Not only is it brighter, but its a more consistant light. It does give off a blue hue (hence why they're blue LEDs) but at the same time, its not like "carolina blue" or "sky blue" hue. Its just a slightly blue light, almost how HIDs appear (to my eye anyway).
