Default LED Light for Underhood Lamp?

Does anyone know if there is a LED made for the Underhood lamp that comes on when the hood is up?

Where did you find? Website please?

Thanks,Matt

It's a 561 bulb. I haven't found one that works well yet.

The one I tested last year would just fall out of the slots.

I'm working on it. I just found a nice C6 led rear compartment bulb (562 type) after searching for over a year.

Is it the quality of the bulb or the fact that just because it's a 561 doens't mean it will fit? I've found a couple good looking 561 led's on ebay....

Looks close to what I had. It's been a year though.

Try them out.

The problem I found is they fall out of the slots when driving.

Try some out.
