Fitted the puddle LEDs. They are fine. Not megga bright but they match the LEDs in the bottom of the doors. I'm happy:)

Just literally fitted mine too along with a complete set of EBC red stuff pads all round and adjusted all my suspension. Oh the joys of a decent garage.

As you say the puddle lights aren't any brighter but match the interior perfectly.

Is there any other type of LED's that will produce a brighter light?

Would they fit as they are so much bigger though?

I put some 9 smd units in my M's number plate lights and they are not small.
