Replaced the interior dome lights with some blue LED's
I love how blue they are
Looks like normal cup holders, right?
Two bright blue LED's hooked up to an OEM style rocker switch

Corrrrect!!
As long as you get the same dome bulb that looks exactly like the oem ones they go right in!
Some people hard wire them in and all that crazy stuff cuz they make their own custom LED boards and what-not.
But if you just want a direct fitting LED dome light, then those LEDs on the link I provided are the way to go
Blue LEDs FTW!

hahahha, but remember, the dome lights in the rear are a different bulb type than the map light...
But you mentioned dome lights so you probably already knew that.
I have a bright white LED map light up front so I can see better, but both blue LEDs in the rear dome lights just for looks
