I have a similar install from the same supplier as you do Preacher. Only difference is, I got amber LED side corners since red are not legal here. I love the front super white 194 LED running lights, pics just cannot do it justice. They are so nice and bright with just a litttle blue hue that they are unique looking when viewed at night.
If I have one complaint about the brake/tail light LEDs vs. the incadescents, they are just a bit darker and more directional but, then again, so are the silvered bulbs that I replaced all of the rear lamps and front turn signals with too. At night, they are excellent, during high sun light, they can be hard to see. However, one light I left incadescent is the 3rd brake lamp, everyone sees that one light up since it's higher than the other two.

they came from here http://autolumination.com
They do not come packaged as if in a store. My guess is they buy them by the bulk and sell them by the order. The "stealth" style lamps are Chrome Silver Vision by Sylvania. I've had both for well over a month, all that I prurchased from them came in in good shape and working just fine. The best way to describe this product is as if it were an OEM product.

i can reach my drivers, but not my passengers. i asked about it in this thread and apparently you can reach them from the wheel well much easier. i broke my replacement bulb, so i have yet to try from there again.

If you are talking about the 194 map lights which are next to the moon roof controls up front, you take ouut the two screws up inside the eye glass holder. The whole unit pulls out and I know it feels like it's not wanting to come out because there are two clamps at the back side but if you pull just a bit harder the whole unit comes right out. This is the ONLY way to get them out. When you get the unit out the lamp sockets are removable by turning them to the left about a 1/4 turn then they come out. Pull out the old lkamp, put in the new one and reverse the whole process. I will say one thing. This will render your map lighhts useless. The amount of light that is cut down is at least 70% or more with the chromed 194s. I eventually went with bright white 194s and put in a coupld of single LEDs which I drilled out the holes for that I use for cruising night lights.

Want to make sure I get the right thing, and I think the posts in this thread refer to them as being 194s.
