LED replacement interior bulbs, individual purchases or bulk

Anyone replaced their interior bulbs for LED ones

Is it better to buy the bulbs seperately or is the following a good purchase, finance wise ?

They are for the main dome lights. They have a double sided back so stick in rather than press in like the rest.
Due to having so many SMD LED chips on that light it has to be a rectangle shape. It's very bright though you won't be disappointed :)

I would consider the swap but how easy is it to remove the covers etc.
If its too fiddly then is it worth the hassle?

It's so easy all you need is a flat screw driver and there are slots for it to fit in to on the lights lens. Just prize it out gently.

To get to the dome lights you need to prize the whole unit off (Including map lights) disconnect the plug and then there are two torx screws inside which then allows the lens to come apart from it.

My instructions probably made it sound a lot more confusing than it actually is.
