Interior LED Bulbs

I tried replacing the front ceiling light bulbs with differnt LEDs. One is only have light coming down, the other is light coming down as well as coming sideways around. However, compared to the factory regular bulb, LED light are too concentrated at one spot, not evenly, nicely distributed. Therefore, I took them out and put back the regular bulbs.

Anyone could recommend a good LED bulbs for the interior lighting? Thanks.

These fit exactly into the dome housing and they are extremely bright.

Thanks for the reply. My LED is also bright enough, but just a little too much at one spot. Do you remember the part number and where you purchased? Actually I prefer Amber/Yellow LED to White, after I tried both colors. Yellow gives softer, more welcoming environment.

Do they replace the factory lens? Or do you put them inside?
