Has anyone found a LED replacement for this C pillar bulb on 69 Cuda fastback? Original specs are 24 watts or about 190 lumens. Found a couple of leds, but were very low lumens
Thx
Jim

looks like it would be alot brighter and possibly an unnatural cooler white. . let us know how it goes.

Yes, warm white would be a closer match to the incandescents. Still looking on Amazon, but most leds seem to be poor quality
 
And just remember, the polarity must be correct to work. If you install them and half work you need to pull the ones tht don't light and turn them around. Also, many are not dimmable so depending on what you buy you might lose that feature.
 
^^I would really like to know what engineers thought it was a great idea to produce "replacement lamps" that don't actually replace lamps^^
 
Found these locally. Seem bright. Will check when it gets dark.

Really lights up the interior at night and they dont get hot like 211-1s
