Weedy interior lights

I’m finding the interior courtesy lights a little weedy, are there any easy mods one can make to them? I was thinking brighter bulbs or something?

Do you get sunglasses with them?

I have older LEDs in mine which are now showing their age - not very bright at all.

Can anyone recommend some bright T10s?

I have had THESE for the past 3 or 4 years. They claim to be canbus compatible, but the ones I received were not - but this is fine for the interior lights.

Xenon white for the overhead, and blue 12" strips wired in series for the floor.

The floor lighting has helped me a number of times when I have dropped things, much more beneficial than I was expecting.

Thanks, where did you wire the floor lighting into?

It is adequate. It suits me and my taste in music.

The boot light is very simple, about a fiver to do, I think it only took about ten minutes to do too! Though the self adhesive used was not brilliant, and it is held up now with cable ties, but it is not visible so it doesnt matter.

You could get creative with the boot lighting, and something that is on my to do list, is another led strip in the wheel well. But that will take a bit longer to hide the wiring, but still a simple job.
