dome light conversions?, any way to take the ugly yellow light and swap to some kind of blue? Options

[mgnt232]

I have a 94 celica ST and want to change the dome lights out. has anyone done this before? i look started taking out the dome light, and it got dark so i haven't had really a chance to look at it good,but i was thinking maybe i could swap and LED in there?
thanks in advance.-

I got the LED's from Dick Smith Electronis in New Zealand

"http://www.dse.co.nz/dse.shop/4a90fa2d012d28b6273fc0a87f3b06b5/Product/View/Z4282" have a look.

I Driled 2 places in the Dome and inserted the LED's, made the drill just a little bit smaller so thay are james in.

I then ran the wiere down the left A-Piller and under the dash to give me the blue lighting on the floor.
I teh joined it to the Return wire for the Light in the door, so now it comes on when I open the door.
PS I also put a switch in the circuit so I could turn it off when working on the car or if I thought it would cause a probled (6 Monthy WOF - Warrent of Fitness in NZ)

Hope this help unfortinatly it was rather late when I got to splicing into the door circuits so I have no photos.

If you hve any questions just give me a shout.

yeah i did it differently, but it comes on when the door is opened, and goes off when the door is closed. i plan to also incorporate some waterproof LED's under the car to come on when the door is opened, and also put them on a switch so i can turn them on/off as i please. one question though.
i was wondering my self about the current draw of an LED strip, to the 2 Kinetik batteries i have? how long before they would suck the life out of the battery? i dont think LED's take much power, but just got to wondering?
