I used bulbs from here and they work just fine-

Some older LED replacements just put the actual LED emitters wherever they wanted, trying to pack as many as they could in the available space for maximum brightness. The ones I use and other quality units take care to place the emitters only where the original bulbs have their filament. The resulting light pattern is very close to the original bulb, and doesn't have the horrible multi direction glare that I usually see in 90's Civics running garbage quality LEDs.

I do expect the Litronics would be superior. I don't think the extra cost is worth it, though.
