Default LED Glovebox Pre Order

Hi all,

Spurred on by Audifan's glovebox light problems I've designed an LED replacement:













This just clips in place of the original and production versions (should there be a demand for such a thing) would be plug and play with the factory wiring. The LEDs have a 50,000 hour life so it should be fit and forget and outlast the car The LEDs also come in warm white (to match filament interior lighting) or pure white (to match LED interior lighting).

Is there a market for such a thing? It'd come out at £25 posted.

Probably better (and brighter) than my current LED install that may not last, so I'd be interested in a pure white one.
