$17.99 Cargo Lamp to LED Third Light conversion

So I have been seeing all of these LED conversions for our trucks, which makes a lot of sense. What I don’t understand is why they are so expensive. I did a little research and came up with a few components that were too cheap not to try out. Here is what I came up with:
I first researched LEDs and came up with these from Lightobject. $12.45 all in

I then went to Radio Shack and bought terminal and bus strips. $5.54

So I took a new light I got from Brothers (nice piece) and started drilling.

The 3M Gasket adhesive was handy, so I used that to hold the LEDs in place.
