How are those compared to the flat panel ones? I think I saw someone using those as well. Are these bright enough to read by? You know, really read, not squint and struggle like the middle aged guy that I am.
Oh yeah, is there a linky to the outside ones?

I've got the same ones as kymooses - they're a great replacement and I strongly recommend them. Three years old and still going strong. And, yes, they're perfectly fine for reading; you won't notice a difference.
I've been through a couple different ones, but I've never been happy with an outside LED - never bright enough for me.

Look for my "Salem-mod" thread for my recent conversion to the paddle types (inside) and flat panel type (outside).

For the outside ones, and only because I just needed one, I would just grab one from your local auto store. Or you can find them on Ebay as well really cheap, just look for the bayonnet base and it's an 1141 or also known as an 1156. Perosnally i don't like the panel ones because they need some sticky foam tape to hold them.

Warm white is around 2700 degrees Kelvin, a warm yellowish light similar to the the factory bulbs. Cool white is around 3500-4000 K, a bluer white.

Its the difference between the harshest, cheapest, 4' fluorescent lightfixture hanging over a workbench in an auto shop and the warm, inviting, slightly golden glow of a bedside lamp*. *Somewhat overstated for dramatic effect - but you get the idea.
