I'm in a floor light crisis lol!!!

I want to change the two footwell lights in my E60 to Red LEDs but on the site, I'm not sure of what size or part number I need to order

The site superbrightleds.com shows:

The glove compartment and floor lamps are [63316962040] festoon bulbs. I think that 39mm bulbs will fit - but it will be tight. I'll measure mine when I get home tonight.

These things are so cheap...why do we get charge an arm and a leg for it?

Most manufactures obscure the _real_ part name/number so that if you need one - you have to buy it through them. It's also allows them to control quality [it's a weak argument]. I.E. buying from someone who spent the time knowing that their equipment is worth the x% price over the third world import.

LEDs arent cheap. Good new is, my LED kit saves you money!!! I use SMD LEDs not regular LEDs for the maximum brightness and durability. My festoon bulbs have 2 SMD leds and wedge bulbs have 5 SMD LEDs. Take a look at this.

We need 7 festoon bulbs (SMD LEDs) and 10 wedge bulbs (I use 8 wedge and 2 18 LED panels and they are SMD LEDs)

For the same thing at superbright:

Superbright prices:
7 festoon 2-SMD LED bulbs at $7 a piece = $49
8 Wedge 3-SMD LED bulbs at $3.50 a piece = $28 (If you get their 4 SMD led wedge, it's $12 a piece!!!)
2 12-LED panels at $22 a piece = $44
Total is $121 before shipping for the less brightness wedge bulbs and $189 before shipping for a comparable product of mine!!

Mine is only $100 shipped and is brighter

Sorry, but that's bullshit. The package type has little to do with the brightness. You sir must work in marketing somewhere!

Brightness in LEDs, and any bulb for that matter, is based on its beam angle and luminous intensity... Along with doping, etc...

Would you be so kind as to post the mcd ratings as well as the beam angle of the bulbs you sell?

John@Motorcepts

Thank you for the kind response SIR. SMD bulbs are bigger and is somewhat brighter. Viewing angle is 160 degrees. SMDs lasts a bit longer but LEDs do last quite awhile anyway. Whatever u think is BS, I am STILL selling the LED interiors as a package CHEAPER than superbrightleds when you buy all of them at once. That's my point and I am not saying my LEDs are the brightest and best and everyone sucks. Did I? I think the answer is no. Thank you.

I dont work in marketing. And please dont call me a liar or a bullshitter. I am just trying to help people here on the forums. Put one same sized SMD LED bulb next to one same sized LED bulb. For the same size, the SMD should be a bit brighter with the same specs. I dont have any mcd ratings for my SMD LEDs but what I am saying is I have LED panels with 18 LEDs which make sit brighter.
