They are great, I would say approx 6500K light range and very bright.
I found that some of these eBay LED license plate lamps are too hard to insert and probably too hard to get out. I had a set and modified them by filing a notch in the housing so that they went in easily and can easily be removed just with your fingers, they are not going to fall out either.
I now have six of these sockets on the car, two each in the trunk, foot well and license plate. I have LED lights in the map light as well, I used the LED with the light on the end rather than the ones with the lights on the side, much brighter.
using LED bulbs in the trunk sockets is a waste of light as half the light is wasted behind the trunk liner.
