Quad bulbs for me also.
The bulbs you linked to would be throwing most of its light out sideways. Although this shouldn't matter as it should bounce most of the light off the mirrored housing. I just preferred all the LED's aiming into the cabin.

I'm getting a few bulbs dropped off by my fiancee's uncle today for me to test.
He's been fitting them into Saabs withouth any problems.  He has a couple of the Canbus compatible ones, so I can try them in the number plate.

I'll let you know how they go over over the weekend.  POURING rain just now, so won't be doing to exterior ones tonight!

Here you find a complete led package for inside your car;

60 euros!! 
I tested the 4 I got today - 2 Canbus ones, and 2 '6' LED ones (not SMD though).
I tried them in the glove box, overhead lights, and sun visor bit.  All good.

I tried them in the numberplate - and I got an error.  I then tried the Canbus ones, and they work fine.
Now I'll get a heap of them ordered up.  The take minutes to change, and make such a difference.
