Replace MK3.5 LED footwell lights

Great idea but I want brighter ones. The OEM LEDs are a bit naff, even at 100%. So looks like I have to spend some money.
Funny, but my FR had halogen bulbs on the footwell, i replaced them with some w5w leds and now i have them at 10% in order not to distract me while driving
I bought mine off of eBay. But as they were so bright I ended up using some red filter to slide in to dim them. They’ve got 18 LEDs in...

I know you can dim them in settings, but I liked my other interior lights at the 50% setting (the cubby hole under the air con settings is set by the same level as the footwell lights.
I’d previously tried the red sharpie but it just looked pink.
Thanks for this. I will try find some with less than 18 LEDs. I'm not sure I have a light in the cubby hole you talk about as I was going to buy a USB led light for in there. I'll check that out before I buy as if I don't then the brightness doesn't matter as I can just set in settings without effecting other lights.
I found out since joining this forum there are a lot of things I hadn't noticed in the car or about the car. Turns out I'm not the most observant
If you have the facelift you will. It’s just a small LED, if you’re not bothered by it, (or don’t have one in the updated Copra) then the above ones are fine on the lowest setting.Thanks for this.

I should mention I used the same gel to turn my cubby hole light red.
I got excited as found some on Amazon with prime postage for £11.99. Then I saw only blue was available

How about these? Can't get them before Xmas, but not far off.
Yeah these are the ones I think I'll get, thanks.
I do have a light in the cubby hole but it's incredibly dull. I'm not sure when I set 100% of its actually 100% as the footwell lights are also quite dim. Maybe I have an issue.

I ordered red instead of white for footwells

Has anyone got these but multi colour? I got some blue ones to replace the white but when changing the door lights it doesn’t match and can be rather painful on the eyes
I have a Facelift and didn't have the cubby hole light....
so I fitted two of these.....

and put the other three above the rear USBs in the centre console. All wired into the footwell lights
