Boot compartment bulb

Hopefully this should be a quick answer.

I want to change the stock boot compartment bulb (right hand side) to an LED, but I don't know what type the stock bulb is.

They are festoon type bulbs. The one in the boot is larger than the rest. Unfortunately I never measured it when I had it out.
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3

Thanks. I was going to get some from here http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/  Used them before and thought they where okay.

Another option would be to run a set of daytime running lights in the boot. I bought a set from eBay for about £5. Haven't fitted them yet but they'll mount nicely on each side in line with the parcel shelf.

You could consider upgrading all the way to the Audi R8 version
