Default Any LED recommendations for interior/plate area?

I'm thinking about doing an led swap on the interior and plate lights of my ZR.

Do you guys have any preffered brand or company, something available on amazon since I have a prime membership that needs to be put to use. i'm looking for something with some clarity and brightness, not really looking into colored but I'm open to suggestions from the 350z crew.

Cheapest SMD led for the plate(white only). I run a 4 led set-up(one layer up) I believe. Anything bigger is too long and will not fit.

For the interior dome lights I have a 3x4 SMD led (12 leds total)(white) in each side and it's very bright.

Both look much better. I picked them up off ebay for about $5 shipped for all 4 bulbs from china(took about 20 days to get it in the mail)

Just keep in mind that the dome/map lights for the roadster are different than the coupe. I don't remember what they are offhand, but you should check before placing an order.

I ordered these http://www.ebay.com/itm/360566816690...84.m1497.l2649 without removing the originals in my ZR because flea gay has a checker thing you can use by entering your car. If it doesn't fit I can use it in the truck and have A spare but would rather use them in the Zed.

I think if you go with a cheap LED bulb for the license plate it won't last long. The problem is that most LED bulbs are not water proof or even water resistant, and the inside of the license plate bulb housings is susceptible to moisture quite often.

I like these bulbs for license plate lighting - they are super bright and they are waterproof:
