So are these just as bright as OEM, or just slightly brighter? I wouldn't mind just as bright, or a bit brighter, just as long as they aren't dimmer.

The ones I linked are much brighter than OEM, and since they are much whiter than the yellow OEM ones, the light is more usable. Not all LEDs are created equal, there are many types and models, the 5050 series and bright for a low cost.

Mine are brighter, and fill the cabin a lot better.

In addition, it brings a cleaner light, helping you see everything easier.

I'll see what I can do about having that done. Right now one of the LEDs is on order (should be landing sooner than what's shown on the site) as we switched around to some newer style LEDs from Ziza for this kit which has a better light spread to give more even lighting of the car. I'll try to get your those shots once the new bulb comes in.

No Manfred Mann lighting here (suddenly I realize I'm showing my age. "Blinded by the light" by Manferd Mann is the reference.... even though the song was written by Springsteen. LINK for the fun of it) they are bright (very) but not overly dental chair bright.

I too did the e-bay route to install interior LEDs.

I used the newer (as I understand it) 5630 bulbs and they were fine and a little bit nicer made. The only issue was with the overhead dome light bulb which needs to fit through a cutout that is just slightly too small for the 12 mm diameter 5630 bulb to fit through. I'm going to buy one of the 5050 bulbs for this with 5 LEDs per bulb (10-11 mm dia).

The only other trick was installing the map light bulbs from the front and connecting them to the assembly from the rear to avoid fitting through the small opening - this doesn't work for the centre dome light because there is a plastic lens in the way...

Cheap mod at basically $1 per bulb.
