Coolest interior LED dome lights EVER -- but they won't sell to an Avalanche

Hey all, check this out. I found these while looking for LED dome lights. They are some of the coolest lights out there as they fill up the entire dome light fixture, and don't cost $200+ as the other kit I've found online like it.

(scroll down and look at the video too)


Since this is for the Escalade, the dome lights would be the same as our Avalanches (2007+, sorry 1st gens). The problem is they want $70 for a kit that contains a front row, DVD player row, and a regular row. Our trucks only have 2 rows, not 3, so we don't need 1 of the sets.
I contacted the company and asked if they would help out and sell the package for a truck -- you know, cross promote and increase sales. They were entirely unwilling  :E:.

I wonder, if enough of us started contacting them asking for the same thing, MAYBE they'll pull their heads out of their  :7: es and let us buy only what we need at a better price. Otherwise, we have to buy it for $70, and then ditch the extra row we don't need. At this point, I won't give them that satisfaction though as they've pissed me off.
 
I found a super deal on these on eBay and jumped on them. I didn't feel too bad since it was from a retailer and not dealing directly with the manufacturer and their awful service. Anyway, very pleased with the result! I added mirror LEDs - they weren't part of the package. These pictures were in my garage, during the day but with the door closed and lights off. The side window lets some light in, but not much.

Wow! Those are bright, and white!

My cheap LED dome lights are bright, but they have that soft blue LED look to them.

Very nice mod!  (y)
 
Very Nice! Very Bright! Do you have a link to the seller on ebay or the seller name I could look up?

Seller is motoringmax. The vanity mirror lights aren't included, so I added this to my order and they shipped together

After taking the truck out tonight, I might say they're actually too bright. I'm still very happy with them, but after being in the dark driving for awhile, when I opened the door it was almost blinding. It reminded me of being Clark Griswold's neighbor

SuperBrightLEDs.com has a vehicle bulb finder that will give you direct replacement LEDs for everything.

I replaced every interior bulb in the truck, ie; vanity lights, map lights, ceiling, door lights, bed, etc for like $20 plus shipping. And they all fit, no removing the reflector, issues with them being too bright or wrong color or reinventing the wheel.
 
The price on eBay has dropped even more from when I bought them. Direct fit replacement bulbs are nice, but these things are magnificant! Of course, if you don't mind having Clark Griswold light your interior. I really, REALLY love them. One of my favorite mods I've ever done to a vehicle. Fairly cheap, simple, didn't have to remove/cut/change anything.

The other night the wife and I went out for dinner. She opened her vanity mirror (for the first time since I installed these LEDs) and blinded herself. I found it quite amusing.....she did not.
