thank you @Stevehose
I’ll measure today.
Looking at my previous purchase, I have the 6486X LED which replaces the halogen festoon lamp, listed as 36mm length. I used LED for the engine and trunk lights, kept halogen for interior.
thank you
what about license plate?
here LED is illegal for normal roads, …only allowed off-road
It's the same size bulb as the others, I use LED for those also.
If you get warm white LED bulbs, ones that are a closer match in color to incandescent bulbs, I doubt anyone would ever know the difference. Especially since the license plate bulbs are basically hidden from view unless you walk right up to the rear of the car and look straight down on the bumper.
1) I was only speculating, so maybe don't listen to me too much.
2) I found this chart that shows color temperatures (Kelvins) compared to different light sources.
3) 4000k wouldn't look blue, but would probably look whiter than a halogen bulb.
4) I found these bulbs that are 3000k on Amazon, but I don't know if they're available en España.

it is a good point indeed, good chart,
as to colour it should be trial error to find the appropriate
I ordered the 4000k and will check how they look, then decide on the 3000k (they are available, yes)
residential incandescent bulbs are about 3600k. so 4000k will be whiter, but not anything near 6000k, which is a very bright white light.
