    I ordered some LED map and dome lights from Diode Dynamics so I would have more light when accessing my cab at night. After I did that I read where people said the LED lights caused problems with their key FOBs etc. Now I'm wondering if I should just stick with the regular bulbs.

    Did adding LED interior lights to your truck cause any problems?

    Meso maps and dome. I don't think there are any issues. Unfortunately I was striken blind from their brilliance and can't confirm.
