    Hey folks,
    I replaced my interior dome and map lights to the superbrightled lights and they have a hard time contacting and the lights are intermittent at first but now they don't come on anymore. I tried to push them in as hard as I can but now they just don't work. Anybody else have this issue before?

    Lots have. Aftermarket LEDS will cause you nothing but problems.

    Check the Dome Fuse.

    Anything other than what it was designed to use is going to lead to potential issues.

    If reliability is what you want, don't modify.

    Check your dome fuse as mentioned above. That's what happened to me.

    This has been my experience. I've replaced just about every light in the truck with LEDs. Most were purchased from forum vendor Csjumper. His lights have been pretty good and more importantly, he's been great about replacing them if they fail. Doesn't hurt that I live 30 minutes from him either. With that said, sometimes aftermarket LEDs last a long time and sometimes they crap the bed pretty quickly. Personally, I love the look and find it worthwhile but like James said, if you are looking for reliable lights you're better off sticking with stock.

    I keep my stock lights in a little baggy in my glovebox just in case

    Same I have my reverse lights and license plate lights. Never hurts to be overly cautious for when things fail.
