Would not think 24 of those would fit. Now I see why yours are blinding bright.

So the bulbs the SMD's that normally come in the kit for the lisence plate are just bulbs and not the panels? I didn't see on the site where to specify when you order. I only saw the SMD Panel menu option for the trunk lighting. So I only received 1 panel, and 4 smaller bulbs. I have no idea what goes where now.
