The lens is fine and the bulb works well, just not much light. Is there a brighter upgrade that doesn't get too hot?

BA15 = Bayonet base, 15 mm wide.

There are several variations of BA15, e.g. BA15S (single contact, parallel side pins), BA15D (double contact, parallel side pins), BA15D(1157) (double contact, off-set side pins)

REFERENCE: https://www.bulbamerica.com/pages/what-is-the-difference-between-a-b...

The dome light in my 56 Dodge (for example) is a 1004, which is a single filament but two (2) contact, parallel side pin, 15 mm diameter base bulb. So the equivalent LED is, as Sven (wizard) suggested, a BA15D:





Watch out, the LEDs come in warm white and WHITE 6000K WHITE!!
