+ 1 on Tunerdomes, I just put them in.
I was surprised that the lights they indicated for the door puddle lights probably should have been used instead in the map lights, and the map light LEDs put in the puddle light locations. The puddle light LEDs have an extra LED shining on the end of the assembly that the map lights don't & makes the puddle lights extra bright.

I'm with you Kaitlyn - If I could buy just the ones I want instead of the entire package, I'd be more likely to go for $25 for three bulbs - I don't want to do the entire car, just the cargo area. So I think eBay may be the only option...

While I agree $130 is not cheap for few lights, I had a bad experience with cheap(er) LEDs, namely:
- no gradual dim down, more of a flicker, then off
- individual bulbs had a different white temperature.
- was unable to turn on the reading lights with ignition off.
- some lights were never 100% off and very dimly lit when car was locked.
Not saying that all cheap LEDs are bad, but you get what you pay for.
