Should clarify my last statement - I ment see them in real life ( when I catch-up with Smithy next)

The first lot of lights arrived today
T10 1W LED for the doors
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/281065756...84.m1497.l2649

A bit disappointed of the result as it pales in comparison with the centre dome and cargo LED panels which contained 48 LEDs.

will now try these T10 with 8 LEDs pointing out the end

The LEDs from the 2nd link has arrived and installed. They are about nearly 2x as bright as the ones in the first link. Still not quite happy with the brightness so I have now ordered these which are 4x 5050 LEDS on the ends
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/200855907...84.m1497.l2649.

I have also received the BA9S leds for the map lights (4 5050 circumnavigating the side and one at the end). Unfortunately, they are quite dim and not great for reading maps (not enough throw of light straight down). They were also of different colour temps (one was slightly warmer than the other). The light from the centre dome definitely over powers them but that is to be expected.

I think I've done enough buying for now. There are still a few panels from the 1st order still to arrive so will wait for them first.

Received in the mail my mose recent purchase last night, and the results are in. I took all images with my phone camera and no flash, and unfortunately the image quality is not as good as the eye can see (as expected, I guess), but the difference of the third globe is quite noticeable. I am sure it isn't as bright as the 48xSMD panel, but the superLED (as I am calling it) is a marked improvement over the other two options. All three of these options fade out in a similar fashion. I must admit, I prefer the white light from the 6xSMD globe over the factory incandescent option, but both are a little dull. The new globe is perfect I think, without being too bright.

I was also disappointed with these, particularly as two of them have now failed and I have had to put the OEM bulbs back in.

Very happy with the 48 LED panels.

Again, same result as you including different colours but I did order the 15 LED panels at the same time and have fitted those. Very happy with the light but still slightly different colours (not as much as the difference with the other ones though).

Let us know how these go Andrew.

Yep. Out of the 4 15LED panels ordered, 1 was slightly warmer in colour. But excellent light output. It's like turning on a fluoro tube in there.

I'm thinking of ordering a couple more to try and get two the same - for the price it's probably worth it.

Or we could just send the unmatching units to each other to make up matching sets!

Problem with that is we probably both want the white light

I have now ordered two more.

[Guest Close Guest]

I don't mind the slightly warmer one

Happy to swap if you like.

[Guest Close Guest]

OK. I need to order a few more for the missus' car and then we'll swap.

[Guest Close Guest]

These would be awesome for the doors but the price!

Might settle with an 8 LED version
