Are you not better with the LED's on the side as this would produce more light?

Hi can you explain, I do not follow.
My goal is to have a red footwell on both sides  :cool:

Edit...do you mean a multiple led...like 4 or 6 in one...?
Please advise...there are simply too much options  :smiley:

I'm going from memory here but I believe the footwell lights lie horizontal.
So if you plug a normal w5w led light in you will just be shining most of the light on to the end of the lights enclosure.
So you are looking for led's that are along the bulbs side as opposed to just the end in order for more light to be thrown out.

I'm sure someone will be along soon if I'm talking nonsense  :laugh:

I have replaced my footwell lights with standard red bulbs and they look great, no need for LEDs :wink:

Got to love the cheap little mods, turned brightness down to 50% as they were too bright, even wife commented that they look good :cool:
