I think these are different from the W5W units used at the front, so before I go off searching the web for a pair, has anyone changed these for Can-Bus friendly units and can point me in the right direction of what type etc. ?

LED bulbs for rear reading lights
After going in the wife's car this weekend, I noticed that shockingly, I hadn't replaced the bulbs in the rear seat area roof light
