    You want 501 s. You can get them for plate lights abstract they look quite cool.

    Any decent place that sells car accessories should have those LED bulbs, other than that they're easily got of the internet. W5W/501 are the same thing anyway

    Those cheap LED "capsule" type bulbs you buy on ebay are a waist of money imo. Had them myself in the past and they end up blowing a few weeks or months after fitting them. Quality ones are very expensive.

    My advice is take out the number plate light fitting and see if it is the lense that is causing the dullness. I had this with a Focus a few years back and just replaced the lense, cheap enough too and made a huge difference fitted with a standard capsule bulb.

    i cleaned my lense:) (with vinager lol) looks brand new, think its the fact theres only one bulb there, its not emitting anuff light to shine down on the plate itself:)
