who was the guy that changed the Dome and Map light to LEDS?

I'm not "the one," but I did change mine. Most LEDs are going to be dimmer than their incandescent counterpart. Mine are really dim, but I just did mine so I would never have to change them again and they look really cool. I don't think there's any way to get around your maplights and dome light being dimmer than stock.
i JUST ORDERed from frickinbrite.com . I got
2 x PAIR 194 SUPER HID WHITE 6 LED () = $15.98
1 x HID WHITE 9 LED DOME LIGHT 3022 3021 3175 6428 6430 () = $6.99
1 x TOYOTA TACOMA 3RD BRAKE LIGHT 3 PK RED 5 LED 194 () = $12.49
1 x 2 SUPER HID WHITE 9 LED 921 912 () = $9.99

Mine are nowhere near as bright as the stock bulbs, they just give a cool blue/white glow in the cab. Mine are all Superbrightleds.com:
2 x 194
1 x 3022 9 led dome
Plus I got all my turn signals, brake lights, 3rd brake lights, tag lights, and corner markers. My dome light is pretty bright, but nowhere near stock. I think it's just something you'll have to live with if you want LEDs.

I picked up a 3 led blue dome bulb off ebay for like 11 shipped. It gives off plenty of light to get in and out of the cab with. The blue looks pretty kool (IMHO) with the indigo paint.
I'm looking for a good and bright red 194 to replace one of the map lights with. Night vision on one side (gitten old, my eyes aint that good no more) when needed and stock on the other to read by.

Sure thing.

I see it was only $7 shipped. Even sweeter.

I put LED's in the taillights/brakelights of the Maxima I used to own. Almost got run over twice in one day because other drivers couldn't see them when the sun was shining. Threw them in the garbage the very same day. They were the JamStrait 9-LED bulbs.
That was about four years ago. Have they gotten any better/brighter?

1slktoy: Thanks for the link, I needed to see the right size, I just ordered the 2 led high power bulb from that seller in xenon white.
10SE: Mine are 25 led bulbs. 19 facing straight out and 6 radially mounted to take advantage of the reflectors in the housings. In the sun they're not as bright as stock, but they are pretty bright and look really cool at night, same for the turn signals. I have an idea on how to make my turns brighter though. I'll post it up if it works.

How bright are your LED reverse lights? I didn't buy any because I thought they'd be really dim. I'm planning on getting a pair of xenon white 886 bulbs and cutting them to fit in the factory housing. They're 55W so they should be plenty bright.

If you get the ones for the reverse lights, don't get the ones that have all the led's on the
very front like this one:
You need some that has the led's on the sides, which I have not been able to find. I got the ones like in the pic above and they suck because our reverse light housing has mirrors on the sides that project the light back.

LOL too late... your 100% right. All the bulbs I got look great but the reverse LEDs I wasted my money on them.
You should check out LEDCreations.com.. they can do pretty much any lighting in LED's.
I got those stupid pilot lights also from pep boys for my licence plate lites and they sucks. THey are very dimm and way too blue. THey say white on the package not blue. I ordered some white 1 watt leds from superbriteled.com today. I will post the update when I get them.
