Default LED Trunk light

I am looking for LED lights replacements in the Frunk and the engine bay only. I don't want really bright lights in the interior.
All I have found is the Suncoast complete kit. Anyone know where individual lights can be had?

Amazon. Here's a YouTube video that shows kind and quantity of what you need:

I did the full conversion including interior from Suncoast. My guess is you’d be very happy with the interior LED changeover. Not too bright and looks factory.

I just replaced the interior, frunk and engine compartment lights and license plate with Philips LED lights. All lights from Pep Boys (also Amazon) for slightly more than $100! Compared to $150 for interior set and $75 for license plate set from Suncoast! Philipsautolighting.com is an excellent website that offers alternatives to all lights based on year, make, model and links to by individual lights.

I believe you want Philips model 6411WLED Ultinon Festoon LED for frunk and engine compartment, thats the one I installed, very bright and white.
$8.49 ea from Pep Boys.

Just picked up an interior set from USP (video) price was $55. Turns out they're 5 miles from my house, added bonus.

Lots of options, many thanks! Watching the video now and going to see what my local auto store carries.

Cheers!

Picked up both the Sylvania 6411 Standard LED and Zevo LED to see which one was brighter. They look relatively the same and both work great in the frunk but in the rear engine lid they hardly produce any light at all.
I get they are polarity specific, but it's on or it's not. I swapped housings with the frunk, same thing. I checked voltage at both harnesses, 12.42 volts. The OEM bulbs in both housings were the same and all reference charts say they use the same bulb but the rear only produces any significant light with an OEM halogen.

Anyone have this experience or offer any suggestions ??
