The terminal layout is the thing that catches most people out, so checking it before you buy is smart. I don't have hands-on experience with a D47 in a Corolla, but on paper the group size and post orientation are what matter most for fitment, and the hold-down bracket usually follows the group number rather than the brand. Worth confirming the CCA rating matches what your car actually calls for, since listings can vary by market. If the shop will let you compare the old unit side by side before paying, that's the simplest way to avoid another wasted trip.

Layer the lighting rather than chasing a brighter bulb — one intense overhead source is exactly what makes a small kitchen feel harsh and still leaves the counters dark when you're standing at them. Think in three parts: task light over the work surfaces, general light for the room, and something softer for evenings. Plug-in LED strips are a reasonable starting point since they avoid opening walls, though cord routing and outlet placement matter. If you do go hardwired later, that's electrician territory. Try one change first, live with it a week, then decide.
