If you want it super bright, best for you to get a regular super bright white LED and then get some red film.

I purchased mine from Vleds.com. I have 6 red M-SMT 30 led panels which are very bright. I have 2 in the front map lights, 2 in the rear domes, and 2 in the doors. Below are some pics.

The factory bulb on top, adapter in the middle, and the led panel at the bottom



Installing the the front map lights...



Crappy cell phone pic at night....

Im not going to lie, that looks pretty sinister. For Halloween. Just sit in your car with a darth vader mask on, lights on when people walk by.

Yes. As you can see, it's been done. Several times. Blue too.

You won't be able to see for $**t with your dome lights. Not a big deal usually, but just so you know.
