Installed a festoon LED bulb in my express dome light, but its not nearly as bright as other's i've seen post on here.

What one did you buy, and any pics and links? I might have gotten something too cheap - need something significantly brighter.

I can take pics of mine later..

stupid question is it facing the right way? Mine is pretty bright. Lights up everything inside better than OEM.

Perfect.. Thank you!

although on the last page I think someone with a 2013 I think has a electronic dome light which might be different than my standard run of the mill dome. LEDs might be different setup

I don't know anything about that. Mine isn't electronic, its a standard festoon like your rear dome.

This should create as much light as you'd ever need. I purchased this on Amazon (Amazon.com: Cutequeen Trading 2PCS White 5050 48SMD 48-SMD LED Panel Dome Light Lamp + T10 BA9S Festoon Adapter (pack of 2): Automotive) and wired them "in parallel."

96 LEDs should fit the bill.
