Hello,
Wanted to throw this out there as I had not seen it posted up and it seems to be beneficial. When swapping in my LED bulbs in the interior, I noticed most of the bulbs have a 360 degree illumination pattern, but the way they mount and are used in the housing only uses 180 or less. And there isn't anything to reflect the light back, just grey plastic in most cases. So I decided to take a few extra minutes and add some aluminum tape to various spots on the housings or behind where the bulbs are to add a bit of reflection back out. It isn't night and day, but did make an improvement, especially in the doors. The tape I used is the shiny stuff you can buy in the ducting aisle of your local home improvement store. Hopefully this helps others looking for a bit more light from their bulbs.
