After searching the archives, I'm aware of this one, as well as the Malkoff, but the latter is too short, and the former appears to be yet more short-lived, eBay-like stuff.
I still think LEDs, or at least the super-white ones so favored, are too harsh for the interior, so I'm sticking with the standard C10W and C5W Minixen for those.
This would be for the boot and bonnet mount, so the standards are lower, but the fixture is only about 1" wide and takes a C10W, so the three-panel one from the UK probably won't fit.
Philips has two versions, in X-treme and Vision, as well as 4000K and 6000K flavors, but if the specs are to be believed, they only produce 45lm, same as a C5W, and far from the 100lm of a C10W. They also appear to be the usual Asian-sourced stuff, but at least they'd have the backing of a real company and not some random seller.
Osram only makes a C5W, also in two temperatures, but they aren't rated to be any brighter.
Neither the Philips nor the Osram have glowing reviews (har har), nor am I aware of any plain incandescent "upgrades" for the C10W to consider as an alternative.
