Map Light #293?..., Dome light? Options

[JoKeRkId613]

I just fixed my car's horn and am about ready to go from regular factory bulbs to LED bulbs all around the car. Every light will be replaced, except of course, the headlights, in which case I just upgraded to Nokya bulbs and harness. I'm a little confused when looking at the Sylvania Replacement Guide for my lights... There's a thing there that says "Map Light" and the bulb number is 293. I assume they're talking about the Dome light... I would need 2 bulbs. And if so, where can I find an LED 293? I checked autolumination.com and I didn't find anything. If there are no 293 LEDs, where can I find a 293 bulb in blue? Thanks...

EDIT: The light in the ash tray box is a 74, right?

what i found works best for the dome light is a series of 3 leds and a resistor on perf-board inserted into a ba9 base. this way you can have all the leds point downward.

in total i've made 3 of these, and it can be sorta tedious to solder, but they put off allot more (usable) light than the matrix leds because none of them are pointed into the ceiling.

for my ash-tray i had to modify a num74 led to face outwards at 90 degrees for it to provide a decent amount of light. ended up breaking the connection and having to re-solder it, but it works now.
