How about just replacing the 5 bulbs with like hyperwhite regular bulbs? Did that for the map lights and are much brighter and a very bluish/ white light.

In theory, this would have a much better result than using the stock bulbs, but you really need to be careful here. Hyperwhites run at a higher temperature than the low wattage stock bulbs that burn yellow. There is almost no air circulation in that area, and running 5 hyperwhites in that small of an air pocket can easily lead to problems. I highly suggest doing a closed system temperature test outside the car first.

Ah ok makes sense. I'm
sure if it does not get too hot that could give a nice blue color with the appropriate filter.
I've done the f1 style one already which came out pretty nice actually. All red looked great as well.
I'm sure the led ones you offer are much better but don't have the cash at the moment.
