Depo Headlight angel eye bulb help!!

So i bought 22 T10 bulbs off ebay as that is what the company i bought the aftermarket headlights from said the angel bulbs were. I took apart my headlight just to find out the angel eye bulbs are way smaller than a T10...
I have attached a picture to show. Please someone help me and tell me which bulb size these are? Im trying to look for led bulbs for my angel eyes. Thanks!

The ones you want are T5 286.
The ones original are 1.2 W but you can 2W from Ebay,incase you just want a brighter amber look,rather than LED white.The led T5 are also a bit difficult to fit and some may need trimming.

Can you send me a link for led ones that will fit? Do I need 20 or 22? Thank you so much

Wow,Jay,I know you are trying to be helpful as always,but these cost €200 shipped!!!!Thats only €20-40 less than both Depo headlights!I am glad they dont post to my side of the pond either
Plus ,they are the 60 led smd like the ones I got and are too widely spaced and mine only cost €30!

Yes they are expensive but for the person who doesn't like to do custom install work they do clip into the factory Depo ring positions and "plug and play"

Not saying I endorse it because of the price but I'd rather recommend he just replace the rings all together instead of messing with the 5 or 6 T6 bulbs lol

Speaking of custom installs, can you provide the dimmensions of the angel rings? I want to swap the oem depo rings but i dont know what to buy.... The price of the oem depo rings is too high...
