Australia 2015 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Auto Aintree Green

Has anyone come up with a suitable LED replacement globe for the std incandescent?
It's a push in type similar to a w5w.
I'm using the Reverse Follow Me Home regularly and it's irking me to see the incandescent lamp against the HID's. MY15

Took a while but the LED replacement bulbs arrived and pretty impressed, well made.
They are slightly longer than the std filament globe but fit with enough clearance.
Great match for the HID's and brighter, whiter than original globe.

Going to give these a try https://www.amazon.co.uk/AGLINT-Extremely-...+led+bulbs
Specs seem good, producing 700 lumens and only 39mm in length so should fit fine plus canbus compatible.
Will report back how I get on and my thoughts.

The results are in. They fit perfectly with enough room to spare at the end without touching the lens. Feel and look of the bulbs are of a good quality and they are very bright as you can see in the pictures and definitely an improvement over the standard halogen bulb. The only thing I would say is that they don't offer much more in distance but do offer a much wider spread meaning the curbs/verges are illuminated a lot more.
