    Just curious how many guys have all stock lighting in their truck. I swapped out the interior (and others, but not headlights yet) to LEDs mainly for the whiter light. I just like the appearance of the white light vs. the soft, yellowish glow of the OEM incandescent bulbs.
    If you still have the OEM interior lights, any plans to swap to LED or are you happy with them as they are?

    I've installed the LED bed lights from Cali raised, but other than, all stock lighting.

    OEM lights. No plan to change out for LEDs until a bulb fails.

    Dual lights here. Default red for those mornings when I don't feel like searing my eyes or my neighbor's. Eye-searing white for those times when I dropped a penny and need to find it. I call the white "vacuuming the theater after the movie" mode.

    Random stuff. Oh! and converted to non ADD 4x4.
    Replaced all with all LED’s(Amazon, I’ll never pay extra for repacked bullshit) to include the headlights. Then I saw the shit show that LED create in a non design for LED headlight housing and ran back to an upgraded halogen. So yeah, all good with LED’s but definitely avoid LED headlights.

    I'm like @Rock Lobster I have red LEDs. Mine aren't dual though. That's cool.

    Edit: For exterior:

    Turn signals, Meso stage 1. The stage 1 was mostly to get amber turn signals, otherwise :notsure: I have amber halo H9s in the low beams, stock high beams, LED white fogs w/ cali raised brackets + pod lights since I have amber low beams, wanted the white for a reflection.

    My interior lights are still stock and I'm too much of a coward to make the swap to LEDs on the interior. I did a Meso total tail stage 1 mod and was lucky enough not to have any hyperflash without the need for resistors. I'm afraid if I keep going with the LED swapouts at some point this CANBUS system is going to tell me to screw off and rebel on me. I'd really rather not find out what that point is, so I'm leaving well enough alone.

    5 years and every bulb is exactly the same as it rolled off the factory floor. They work and are bright enough.

    Stock interior lights. No plans on swapping out the inside lights. I am okay with how it is lit inside. I did swap out the license plate lights, reverse lights, and the mirror turn signals. Headlights are already LED from the factory.

    Swapped to Diode Dynamics set courtesy of @memario1214. I don’t mind the bright lights at night, if anything I need the lights for that situation.
