I initially installed the Fanteli LED for for the cargo light on my Mav. Within 10 minutes, it burned the reflective material inside the light housing. Although it has the 921 end connector, the LED is too large for the housing and doesn't provide enough clearance resulting in damage to the reflective material. The original halogen bulb, a Toshiba 912, measures 1.43" tall (OAH) x .59 Dia. The Fanteli measured 1.65" tall (OAH) x .48 wide. The T15 on the Fanteli bulb represents a tubular bulb with a diameter of 15 mm (.59").
I searched for an LED with a 921, T10 designation representing a tubular bulb with a diameter of 10 mm (.39").
I used Amazon to find a suitable (for me) LED. I settled on Auxito.

I didn't measure the Auxito but a picture is worth a 1000 words.
The next pic, showing brightness at night, was taken in the rain. Although the Auxito is rated at 6500 vs 6000 for Fanteli, I feel that the Fanteli was a little brighter. The Auxito doesn't get close enough to the housing to hurt anything.
