swap the left and right bulbs and see if the issue changes sides. if it does, then its a bad bulb. if it stays on the same side, then it will be something else

Bingo, I switched the map lights and it followed the LED. Now some of the individual LEDs are not working, so the question is....are there high quality LED's for this application? I've been in there 3 to 4 times, so I will pay more for quality.
BTW, I put the old bulbs back in and holy cow, they are dim!

"supposedly" they're Samsung LEDs, but not totally sure I believe that. In my past searches, always found one's that claimed that brand yet some cost more some less. All appeared to be identical, so not totally sure if there is a high quality version of replacement lights other than buying the LEDs individually making your own setup with a 194 base.
Thanks, that is what I was thinking. I would even buy one of those kits that have been discussed on the forum if the people putting them together had some idea of the composition. Knock on wood, all the other lights have been good, just the map and license plate lights which are the same bulb.

And thanks again for all the legwork you did in finding the correct conversions. I wouldn't be near this far along without your help!

Seems longevity of the bulbs is hit or miss, kind of like the hyper flash with Spyder LED tails. I can't run them for whatever reason, but other people can without issues.
You're welcome!! I initially was just doing it to do it and logged it all on a thread. Then I got carried away, lol. I am surprised not much has changed in last 18 months in what bulbs are available.

agreed. I mistakenly ordered twice as many of these LEDs which work in both the map and license plate lights. Ironically, I have now used my last one.
I've ordered some different LEDs that appear to be of higher quality and will report on them when they get here next week.

I have no problem with only fronts done, but it'***** or miss with our trucks ti seems.
Some people have no issues with fronts, some do.
Some people have no issues with Spyder tails, some do (me being the latter).
