Led Interior Reading Lights

Don't they go turn off when driving? Mine do and I thought it was a legal requirement?
I'm referring to those times when you or a passenger needs to switch one on @Skyliner33. I found the LED replacements I put in too bright.
Funny you should mention it though, my interior lights don't turn off when driving, despite the switch being set appropriately. I've logged this elsewhere on the forum.

Finding LED bulbs to fit the reading lights is hard, many are just crap and are half-dead within weeks and many others are too tall to fit behind the lens.
I've found these the best after trying several: US $2.93 23% OFF|2pcs T10 LED Canbus W5W 168 194 Clearance Parking Lights For Mercedes Benz W211 W221 W220 W163 W164 W203 C E SLK GLK CLS M GL-in Signal Lamp from Automobiles & Motorcycles on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group
However, they aren't warm and are definitely bright!
Although if it's warm you want, why not just stick some basic halogens in?

I'm all honesty @walnuts I've no real need to swap out the basic bulbs, it's merely to keep the LED theme going. I'm changing as many bulbs as I can to LED and was wondering if the interiors could also be changed for warm LED's .
Have you looked on e Bay? No personal experience of these specific LEDs but have used similar in bright white: 1x Warm white T10 194 168 W5W 20 SMD Silica Super Bright Car LED light Bulb Lamp 664195566675 | eBay
2 x OSRAM LED Warm White Retrofit W5W 507 24V 1W 4000K Truck Sidelight Bulb 4008321875624 | eBay
The above are warm white.
I’ve got the cool white version of these in my interior lights. Good quality LEDs that are super reliable and not polarity sensitive.
They fire out most of the light out of the end which suits the interior cab light as they’re ‘end on’.
