Wow, is that with the original tinted cover?  I like the brightness and so have changed the tinted cover for the clear one but don't really like the look of the clear one.

Even with the original cover the LEDs are a lot brighter than the bulb so worth it for less than £2, it's nice to open the door at night and actually be able to see in the car. That's an option if you don't like the look of the clear cover, just switch back to the smoked one and put an LED in, it's probably as bright if not slightly brighter than what you currently have.
