I am looking for an LED replacement bulb for a single contact parallel pin 18W bulb,,
these are normally designated BA15S. Plenty to choose from IF you are after a blinker or brake light replacement, such as--

But I need it to suit a DOME light(non reflective interior),

so I need all the light coming out to the left or right--

anybody got any ideas?

Light loss will be no different to an incandescent bulb due to lack of reflector. If it is a concern, stick a bit of al foil in there.

You can buy on ebay a flat biscuit with 24 or 48 or whatever Leds on it which comes with both a bayonet and festoon connection. It just sits in the dome .
I have 2 in my D2 and they are brilliant.
