Just my opinion, but LED bulbs do not generate enough light to even read a newspaper. Because of their structure and material most of the light gets trapped reducing the brightness of the light. They usually do not put out any more then a 35 watt incandescent light bulb. Unless you get them in clusters, THEN they might give enough light for your satisfaction.
The "cool White" LEDs do not light as well as the warm white ones. We can see and read fine with the warm white LEDs. We had got some cool white replacement LEDs, but you could not see, or read by them. We ordered 2 of the warm white replacements and they worked fine, so we ordered enough to replace all rest of the bulbs, except the 2 over the driver/passenger area. Even got LEDs for the 2 map light up front, the put out more light and were much cooler to touch.
