(can be also found on ebay for a couple of dollars less) and it is great! It's freezing out, so I didn't take a "before" picture, but you all know what the stock light looks like. The LED is much whiter and brighter.
Oh and the installation was beyond simple!
Now considering putting these into the dome light:
Have finally got sub installed and have upgraded trunk light to led and relocated it down into the sub box. It is a 12 led panel and it is hot glued to the back of the sub grille. Will be interested to see if it stays put once the sub is fired up or if further mods will be required. Have run the extension wires thru the sub box and then have a plug hidden by the grille for a quick disconnect. The relocation has seen a great improvement in light across the trunk.
@cranraspberry - Thanks for the link. These bulbs are as scarce as bird poop in a cuckoo clock. I just ordered the bulb through Amazon. Consider yourself my new best friend.
Got my cargo led installed tonight. Pretty big difference.
Me, too. I had a tense moment installing the bulb. I bent one of the "thingies" on the opposite side of the LED but it bent back into place without breaking the wire. Whew! Well worth the $10.

Just as a point of comparison since I had the LEDWholesalers light from the top of the thread and now have these JTechs: the J-tech lights in these links seem to me to be as bright as the LEDWholesaler one. However, the light is distinctly more blueish. The LEDWholesaler light is a nice bright white, not "warm" but not blue. These JTechs might be slightly less bright, but if they are it's not noticable.
Nice thing about the Jtechs is that they came in a two pack for $7 shipped. I paid $10 for the LEDWholesaler light and only got one, which turned out to be really fragile. I put one of these jtechs in the cargo area and one in the dome. I found that when I had the map lights set to "door," if I would turn them on, I would forget to turn them off because when I opened the door they went on anyway. It was a problem with me, not the light, but my solution was to turn them off and get a brighter light for the dome that will light the whole car without the maps. The Jtech light linked here are bright enough for that.
1 - Are they holding up since you installed? JTech LED's are notorious for flickering and going out after short time.
2 - Can these fit into the map/reading lights up front?
