Default Trunk light replacement installed (Polarg J-62 LED bulb)

I replaced the OEM 194 incandescent bulb in the trunk light with a Polarg J-62 LED bulb. Here is a photo showing the OEM trunk lighting:

Well, I just purcahsed some different Polarg LED bulbs, model number 602TS. These have multiple LED elements to additional light the lamp's reflector (it's claimed to provide 300 degrees of light output). The Polarg J-62 LED bulb uses a single-plane LED element which is refracted using various lenses. This leads to a slightly "spotlight" appearance.

Did you order the bulbs from the Japan site? If so how?

I found a seller on eBay. The "Buy it Now" was only for one set of bulbs. It is possible that a new auction could be available now. Unfortunately, it's always difficult to source quality bulbs which aren't made by one of the major European brands (Osram, Phillips, etc.). I like to buy Polarg because the bulbs are made in Japan, not China as is the case with most other products.
