Have you done all the interior ones too mate?
I think it looks crisp!

How many LEDs were on each one?

No, have got them.....but waiting to change to roof lining to black first.

The light does look clear now, not a yellow'y colour, just expected them to be a little more brighter

I think once you have all the interior ones fitted it will suit nicely. I've done the opposite, interior first but not puddles yet, makes the puddle lights look really yellow in comparison!

I think they are an improvement and I think you should think yourself lucky that you've got puddle lights!  :P

No comparison mate, LED is a far better, whiter and crispier light.  FTW

Did you get SMD LED (look like a flat square with a yellow circular dot on them) or just normal ones?

I found the SMD ones where a lot brighter.

This is what Philips blue vision bulbs look like, it looks more yellow because of gravel reflecting the light. Definately
better compared to the stock ones.
