I bought a full set from Ian at Bolt On Bits Ltd earlier this year and they are very bright and very good quality - give him a call on 01274 688 388 as I am sure he will see you right 
Got to say the LED's aint cheap though but you can get a set that will do all the interior lights including the underside of the door, puddle lights, all roof lights and even down to the glovebox light  "UNDERSTEER" ---is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" ------is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" -is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" ------------is how far you take the fence with you.

Pretty much all the interior lights are w5w lamps. And there are lots of them. Hids4u do a lot of v good quality alternatives - look on the D3 section and you will find lots about this. Also you will find discount codes there. I ended up using various of these.
Forget eBay stuff. I tried various identical looking and much cheaper units from there and they were all disappointing.
I also went the whole hog and replaced the boot light with an led strip and that made a huge difference. Have a search and you will find details.

For those who may be finding this thread in the US and looking for other local suppliers, I swapped out all of the overhead bulbs in my D4 this afternoon. I opted for a mix of bulbs:
360 degree, max-output bulbs for the center lights dome lights (rows 1 and 2)
120 degree, high-output single-sided bulbs for map lights (rows 1 and 2)
Standard "factory sized" LEDs for rear reading lights and cargo (row 3/cargo)
After inspecting the space inside the dome lights, I ordered these parts from superbrightleds.com, a prominent US LED bulb supplier:
WLED-WHP18-TAC - Central dome lights
WLEDB-WWHP6-DAC - Map lights
WLED-xHP15-TAC - Third row / cargo lights
These all fit well in the locations described above. Note that the WHP18 bulb will likely NOT fit in the map sockets, as the socket is slightly offset and the size of this bulb would hit the inner reflector. It is, however, perfect for dome lighting, whose sockets are centrally mounted.
