What's out there for new interior lights? Doesn't need to be concours correct, just functional

I bought the same one that Sierra Madre has from 914Rubber and it snaps in with a nice snug fit. By coincidence, today I received my order from Super Bright LEDs to replace all the bulbs in the car except headlights and instrument bulbs (already did those) with LED using their handy vehicle fitment wizard. It got every bulb on the car correct with a plug and play replacement EXCEPT the interior light. The bulb they claimed is a match is too long. This bulb should be the correct one but I won't know until my exchange is complete.
The bulb that is too long has 8 led chips and will burn your retina it is so bright. The assumed correct bulb has 6 chips so won't be quite as bright but should still be plenty to light the interior.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/d114hh0cykhyb0.cloudfront.net-20845-1601093381.1.jpg) I'm thinking of doing the same thing for my car. My turn signals are not bright enough for me and the interior lights are too dim as well. Questions: 1. Do the LED's need any sort of resistor/other mod or anything to make them work with the existing wiring, or are they truly plug and play? 2. When I looked up the lights for a 914, I clicked on the rear bulb just to see what happened and I got two choices: a CAN bulb and the recommended one. Which ons is for a 914? 3. They have colored bulbs. Should I get those of go with white? 4. How is this option different than going with the LED light kits sold by Spoke (I think that's who sells them)? Or are they just another option? Thanks! |
