I bought an interior LED kit which included two festoon bulbs, but they are far too long to fit in the map light sockets. Fortunately I was able to use them in my Jeep interior overhead light bar, and they fit perfectly.

Looking at where to find the shorter festoon LED bulbs, I discovered that some of the Gen 2s have 194 sockets in the map lights, rather than the long festoon lights.

Does anyone know if the 194 sockets can directly insert into the festoon light brackets? I'm going to check out some junkyard trucks to see if I can find the entire assembly - I would rather convert these to 194 type bulbs, as the festoon LEDs only put out light on one side, whereas the 194 LEDs will cast light onto the entire conical reflector.
