You need wide angle ones.

I've noticed these are done in either 6 or 10 LED Karl.  Is there a preference?

Depends how bright you want them. I find that I prefer the mood lighting rather than the glaring brightness. The 5 led ones are plenty good enough for the not so young like us.

Also these LEDs just plug in, don't need any fixing or messing around. Don't forget that LEDs are polarity sensative,

I've bought some in 6 LED, so they should be more than enough.  Just waiting on delivery.

You could just leave the factory ones in. You won't notice in a couple of weeks.

It's the little things that make a difference. 

 

the fact that all my bulbs inside are warm white so look OEM, but draw next to no power with the engine off. There isn't a single thing on my car that isn't LED except the dipped beam which is HID. 

 

I haven't had to replace one bulb in over a year either :p

There is the option of strip led's to spread the light across the whole footwell.

I haven't noticed my footwell bulbs in 3 years, who the hell cares? It's like Blackpool illuminationa in there.

My main criterion is whether i can shoot from the lights at a decent acceleration.

Then again, i'm almost 70, kids rather go for good looks, as did I, 50 years back ;)
