more LEDs doesnt mean brighter.

bigger leds will give you brighter... If you have clear corners and you're running a white bulb.. then IMO use the same thing so it matches up.

My personal fav is the PIAA Dual LED (white/white)

Very easy for license plate and most other lights. All are pretty much plug n play and only take minutes to do. Your owners manual goes into detail on all light replacement except the clearance strip (if you have one depends on the year. Your 06 model doesn't)

They're plug and play and literally take 30 seconds to install. It's just a wedge bulb that you take out and then put it.

To take off the license plate bulb cover it's a small plastic clip you push in and pull out.

I bought some cheap LED 5-way bulbs on eBay and love the look. Not too bright, but definitely cleaner than the yellowish stock bulbs.
