I used a set of boldsport ones - I did a fair amount of testing with various led bulbs. Most of the error free eBay specials ain't and the ones that don't throw a bulb out light (from the ones I tested) ran so hot I didn't want to risk having them in a confined space. I tested all the bulbs at a constant 14v for two hours - most of them burnt themselves out, the ones that lasted were so hot I couldn't touch them (one set burnt my fingers!!!) It was only the BS ones that lasted and were cool enough for me to be confident to put them in the cavity in the boot.
You could use one BS bulb and one eBay special in the cluster (the BS will stop the error light) then the other BS bulb in the relocate to keep costs down. Iv had a full set (6) of BS bulbs in my car for nearly a year now with no problems so that's all I'd use :happy2:
