... because seller won't take them back.

What did they say to you?  They won't take it back because it was "used"?  The return policy does not have any details onsite.  I'd put comments in their feedback if they continue to be unresponsive, sometimes that jolts the seller into the proper action.

If no resolution, PM me, I'd be glad to take 'em off your hands.
 
I just swapped with my mate as ones I had were perfect for him.

I'm trying these out tonight.

I got my other LEDS in. I'm short one for map lights, I bought 4 instead of 5. I'm going to replace lights that come on when you open door and order another. So I'll do the actual reading lights in rear next week. I also got my license plate lights too.

Standby for more photos.

Alright, more updates.

As of right now everything looks great--grant it the sun it out so it could be deceiving. I am waiting until night far to test for sure. So far, the interior, reverse LED's I swapped with my buddy, and license plate LED's all look AMAZING!

I broke one LED and am short one LED for the rear seat map lights. The middle bulb was a PITA to get in; it was super tight which caused me to break the first LED. Actually, my dumb self didn't realize you can put the LED on it but not push in to test polarity--I got LED in and it didn't come on (was backwards), tried to take it out and because it's such a tight fit I basically ripped the LED off the base LOL.

Here photos, I am now going to think about the front signal and marker bulb--I really would like to go LED but I hear from lights are a PITA.

On to the PHOTONS!

Front Map Lights; I had to take the reflector out to get the bulb--they were TIGHT.

Of course it does, I did it. ;)

Haha --

I've decided I'm not painting my chrome; I like the luxurious class it spouts off because you catch the aggressive stance!
 
I meant that it looks real nice from what I can see in those tiny pictures. 
 
OH, I sweared -- crap; Daddy 4DR is gonna beat me now.

I fixed the photo's; apparently I linked wrong URL.

OOPS.
 
Great!  I think I'm gonna want to do my plate if I every get it. That really makes it pop! 
 
Very; I hate yellow bulbs that are supposed to be white!

I got 2 more LED's coming in for back maps and I'm done.

I want to do from turn signal and marker bulb but I'm being told it's a PITA to do.
 
So the LED bulbs that you swapped...did they go into a 10-12 SHO or a different car?  I won't mind getting LED's for the reverse, just wondering if the first one's you got fit in my car.

He has a 2012 Focus.

Where is the reverse lights on your car? Trunk lid or body?

In the body.
 
You should be fine then.

The 13 has their reverse lights on trunk lid which means the bulb goes in at like a 60 degree angle to the housing.

If yours goes in with bulb facing straight back towards back of car you good.

I tested last night how the LEDs worked.

Reverse LEDs that I swapped with my mate are useless; they do give me a white light and they do fill the entire reflector better than the other CREE's I had, but they don't actually "project" any light--so backing up they are useless.

I found these two on ebay; not sure which one I will go with.

Rated @ 490 lumens; http://goo.gl/3cIj0j

Rated @ 500 lumens; http://goo.gl/uT6HSV

The first one may work better for my reflectors since it has so many LED's all over whereas the second one seems to have like (2) HP LEDs on each plane.

Interior LEDS

The ones I got work GREAT! Even with two back map lights still stock, the LED's overpowered the interior and make it bright white. I love it; no more "yellow" look in my car.

Even license plate looked amazing.
