Default Door courtesy light 3GS

We all kno that it's dim, along with all the other interior lights of the 06 GS300, but I've been searching on the forum on how to change them, I've already checked the door light and it's on a circuit board, and the I-JDM ones fit everything but the GS, is there any available for the 3GS or is it a way to install brighter LED? Thanks

I used something similar to this. Had to mod the housing for the LED panel lights, but well worth it. 10 times brighter than stock. Bright enough to find things if you dropped something small. Here's my link on the lights.

I prefer to buy the the ones you posted, but based on my research it doesn't work for the 3GS, besides the portion that's facing the ground is clear

3GS courtesy lenses are half red and clear. The bottom portion that lights up the ground is clear and the portion that you see on the door is red. White LEDs are perfect for the job, unless you want red lights on the ground, but imo it's hard to see with it.
