Default Rear seat/hatch interior LED light

I got a stock LED replacement for the rear seat/hatch.......it was brighter than the stock light...........and best of all it is not hot and melting the plastic parts within the housing.........but the LEDs are pointed toward the rear and lot really illuminating the seat very much.......my solution was to get a flat panel LED .......it measures 7/8 x 1 5/8 .........2 of them will fit very easily in the housing.....I ordered 2 but 1 was DOA so I went ahead and just put 1 in til I get another
