is the rear cargo area light the same thing? 42mm by 11mm wide?

i assume they are easy to replace also, no?

I run those cheap ones, be sure to get some extras! I had one burn out two of the LEDs for the front so the company replaced the set for free and haven't had a problems with the fronts since, and the back ones I've burned out one completely and the second one only has 4 of the 8 LEDs left... Not to sure whats going on with the back light but it burns the bulb up quick.
Oh and be prepared to have constant overhead lights on now. The LEDs run at such a low voltage they stay on (but very dim) as long as the Jeep is on. It looks kinda cool at night though.

are the 42mm the same style bulb as the OEM?.... the 'plug in kind'?

it's fairly easy to kill off the after glow for led int. lights, since they're all on a common feed, it's just one tap and you're done

The map lights in the front are different from the cargo lights in my 03 Renne. I have an the overhead computer thing though, so I don't know if your's might be different. But anyway, I bought http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220622371397&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:ITto replace my map lights. I haven't installed them yet so I can't I'm for or against them yet. Haven't had the time to pull the overhead console out and yank the bulbs.

Depends on what it is, I guess. I've had great results with LEDs from China.
