Question which LED' can I use for a mood light?

I want some nice LED's in either orange or Green (same as A/C and HU green) as mood lights, but I’ve looked everywhere, and I can’t seem to find what I need.

Where Can I find ones that are small enough to fit in the interior light opening (next to the ON, OFF, DOOR selector for the interior dome light) so it doesn’t disturb the passengers, yet already pre-wired so I can hook it up to my Auto dimming rearview mirror wiring (ignition +).

Any suggestions?

yah...depending on the size of the LED you need...it may NOT come in amber or green.

what u can do is buy clear plastic page protectors in amber or green....cut to size and put them inside the light housing unit.

The problem isnt the color, but the size, and the need for it to be pre-wired for an easy hook up.

I installed the Amber snake light, and the cabin looks real nice at night. It lights up when I open up my locks via remote, and when the ignition is off and I dont touch anything for 45secs, it goes dims and starts blinking like an alarm light. Plus I love the shine on the wood. Im goign to TRY and take pics, my camera isnt all that.

I guess the way I had it connected to my sunroof controls did the trick.
