Interior Map light ( replacement bulbs )

I like to switch out my interior map lights to RED LED's. It helps me see things around the cabin without hampering sight through the window at night. Any suggestions

Any suggestions as to where to buy some for the 370 Z.

Cheers...

These are my custom Luxeon K2 Star map lights. All I need to do is break apart the OEM festoon bulb, solder the ends to the wires, and snap them in. My 350Z had Luxeon I Stars, so the new ones will be brighter and whiter!
