I've been replacing these capless bulbs for people for a while now
I haven't found an LED that will do the job in all fittings.
The difficulty is, the filament bulb is completely non-directional, so the bulb holder can be in virtually any orientation.
The proposed LED replacement will, at best, be partially directional and it will not usually be possible to turn the fitting, so as to have good light spread in exactly the right direction.
Sometimes you'll be lucky, other times you may be able to fit an alternative lamp-holder in the existing fitting, which takes a LED that points the right way. Sometimes, however, all you can do is play with other incandescents that emit different temperature light.
I've never had reason to try with Pajero interior lights, so can't say what will, or will not work.
What I'd suggest is to buy a few different types and try them in each of the lights you want to convert.
When you know what works in each location, then you can order the complete kit and, having blazed the trail, post the details on here for the rest of us, who will surely be following in your wake, soon enough |

Hi i have changer the leds now and they work much better and brighter. This is the 3rd shogun/pajero i have done, and different bulbs. The front 3 are T10 fittings and these are the ones i fitted look dark during the day but great at night
These look a little short when fitted and a longer version would be better but they do the job (3 fitted in front dome panel)
the rear ones i fitted these (side pillar and boot light) 31mm 16 LED 3528 SMD (3 fitted 1 in each pillar and 1 in the boot area)
