Hi
As part of my ongoing van improvements I have changed all the old Halogen bulbs and replaced them with LED. I struck a problem finding a flat (low profile) bulb for my centre lights eventually finding a perfect solution.
My centre lights look like these

The bulb shown in the above picture was my first attempt but was not bright enough so now I have found one that doubles the wattage shown here

You have to use a back pin flat LED bulb typical of the ones have used that fit the "low profile" of the lamp cover.
Just out of interest, these bulbs consume 2.6 watts but give 35 watts worth of light. The old conventional 35 watt halogen used well 35 watts. So the new one can run for 13 hours and use the same battery power as the halogen would use in just ONE hour!
