Default LED interior lights

Switched out old bulbs for led but disappointed about light output. The footwell lights seem bright but the dome lights aren't what I suspected. Ought from JDMautohaus on eBay as a kit maybe I should have bought individual lights from somewhere else. Opinions? TIA

can you post a pic of the dome led lights (the light itself) so we can see what you got? LED"s are super cheap on Ebay if you're patient on shipping. Just order more until you find one you like. The only thing I suggest is making sure you remember who you ordered from if you like it and want to order more. This way, you get consistent color. Some are white, some are slightly yellowish.

hmmm, I think you're looking for the blind me type of lighting. For me, that LED you have should be plenty. I don't think you're going to find many that are brighter (maybe a little), unless you switch to the panel style ones where it's a board with LED's with a wire that connects to the proper fitting (T10). But then you have to deal with movement and how to secure the panel.

Looking at some of the pics on here I think mine are quite a bit "dimmer" than theirs. Maybe it's just me

I'm actually looking for something that can illuminate the boot bright enough. Changed to a Philips LED bulb, but it just isn't cutting it, still too dim for my liking. Any recommendations for boot?

I used these from this thread. Bright enough for me, but obviously I'm not you so I'll take a pic for you when I get off of work tonight.

I ordered the JDMastar lights. Should get them next week. Hope there're brighter than what I have now. Thanks for all the replies. 👍

zhifan - here are the pics I promised. Hopefully it shows the brightness well enough.

The JDM astar lights are perfect for my taste. Thanks to TJR14IS350 for the recommendation.
