Default Colored Dome Lights

I went to my local Schucks to find clear/white interior dome light, but all they have is the stock one and don't carry colored ones in small size required in my '96 Civic coupe.

Where is the best place to find some?

Oznium.com

they're like $25, but they're worth it. It's not just a plain bulb, it's a square of LEDs, and puts out a lot more light and looks amazing.

they are
it's an LED square with a short cord coming off of it that connects to a "dummy bulb" (it comes with a few different ones so that it's universal for all cars). You take the "dummy bulb" and put it where your stock bulb was, and then take the plastic off the back of the LED square that covers the adhesive tape, and then stick it on there and put the dome light cover back on.

Oh, and don't get the "Rigid" one. It's too bulky. You need one of the two thinner ones.

watch the end of this video for instructions. it's pretty easy.

^ that's what i got, it's bright and comes in multiple colors, i got these http://www.oznium.com/thin-led-domelight in 1.5" x 1.0" fits perfectly in the dome light in my 99 civic. like trust said, it connects to dummy bulbs, it comes with a couple different bulb sizes, and just replace the bulbs and the led's would work, use the adhesive to stick into the back and if you get the ultra thin ones you can still use your dome light cover

would you say they're worth the extra $20 over LEDs that are on ebay?

yes, oznium is known for their great customer service, fast shipping, and quality products. the ebay ones may or may not last as long and usually cheaper in quality

I have the oznium's dome light LED's in my dome light and in my trunk light
