Here's a few links from DealExtreme - got all my white LED's from them - check the buyer reviews before purchasing ;)
T10 0.8W 30-Lumen 2x5050 SMD LED Car Festoon Red Light Bulb
T10 1.2W 70-Lumen 5-SMD LED Car Red Light Bulbs
High Powered LED Vehicle Signal Lights 2-Pack

You can use W5W or T10 bulbs - both are the same socket size

I used these ones on mine http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RED-501-W5W-SIDE- ... 1702wt_905

They work a treat, I much prefer the red to the white. :yes:

This may be of some help.

No I've just changed the footwell ones so far. The over head ones are on my list of jobs but not sure if I'd go red or white LED with those.

In the Lights section Howard has done a handy little how to on changing the reading lights.
