Default Map Lights

I want to replace my existing map lights with a more tactical "Red" light to eliminate "vision flare out" when a passenger needs the interior light on while I'm driving at night.

I can't find the bulb type and the current bulbs lack any markings. Will either of these work? Thanks in advance!

so did you find the right bulb? I am going to try and install an additional light behind the sunroof switch. Any one know if I can tap the power from the switch for the light?

Wow that reminds me of running aircraft engines at night, the red cockpit lights on. I think I might have to steal your idea....

Perfect! It reminds me of the days I flew around in the CH-46. It gives off enough light for the front cab, I would not recommend filling all of your dome lights, it's very tactical and may not be practical, but is great for map and use while driving at night.

I have 4 blue LED for the dome too... PM me if you want them, $10 per pair, and that includes shipping.

My VW Touareg had a red dash light. It was nice to have.

Do you have a sun roof? The reason I ask is that they moved the dome lights back to accomodate the sunroof so I might be missing some lights someware, in fact my dealer just ordered an extra dome light and I am going to attempt to put one in behind the sun roof switch...hope I don't screw something up!
