Default piaa light bulb alternatives

hi all,

i think thinking about getting new light bulbs for my tc, and i had PIAA extreme white before, this is what i experienced:

PIAA extreme white

PRO: REALLY BRIGHT!
CON: short life (about 40,000 miles and it's done)
CON: expensive - $70 a pair

SO , I wonder if there is any other light bulbs that is just as birhgt (if not brighter), but has longer life and cheaper?

I heard about Nokyas and silverstar, but based on what i see i don't think neither is brighter than PIAA extreme white. i know both are cheaper, but i wonder what's the useful life ? can anyone confirm that?

is it possible to put new lights in the ceiling light in the xb? Without having to replace the actual fixture.. It would be cool to have brighter lights.

I put LED bulbs in mine. They look cool but they're not any brighter. Prolly dimmer if anything. I got them from here BTW:
Festoon Dome LED Light Bulbs, you'll need 31 mm in size for the dome light.

I also bought the Xenon Super White Festoon Dome Light Bulbs thinking they would be white/blueish or brighter but they were neither.
Here's a pic of the white LED bulb:

I also have these in my side markers and my license plate lights. They really are bright and are white.
194 Signal/Marker Bulbs 5 LED
