Default Perfectly white w5w/194 bulb - Anyone has something that works, tried a few things?

Just got a bunch of those small LED replacements. They're the right color but not nearly bright enough (6 chip led is currently in use). I've seen a lot of blue tinted halogen bulbs online but most of these jobs on cars i see around town look blue and not white which is something i'm trying to strongly avoid.

Anyone here installed w5w/194 bulbs that are perfectly white?...really want to make my console lights match the color of my window switches and other cabin lights that i've replaced with white LEDs as per the tutorial out there. Anyone know of some extremely bright LED's in the stock bulb size? Anyone have pics of white interior lights?

The following so far do not work, this covers a lot of products:
reviews:

Extremely Dim, inferior quality led chips.



Extremely dim not noticeable when lit.



same as above extremely dim not noticable when lit:



6 led chip bulb, only two of six so far that uses actual 'super bright' leds when it claims to... the beam path is too narrow, bright but not bright enough by far:



does not fit only two of six so far that uses actual 'super bright' leds when it claims to :



Spent about $150 on light bulbs so far.

www.superbrightleds.com ?
The WLED-x6 in a 194 or W5W style.
I have one in my licence plate light and
its mundo bright.
It came with only 3 of the 6 leds functioning
so I had to open her up and fix her. PITA.

How much light do you want.
These run about $50 each....

I used the following for my map light and its really bright. I can see my interior completely through 15% tint in pitch dark. The color is like 6k HID though (has a hit of blue in them):

I used this one on my license plate light and its pretty bright. There are two kind of bulbs for these, one is the HID 6k color and one is the 5k HID color
