need suggestions on a good overhead small light for my overhead console (1 Viewer)

[Roberto]

Just picked up an overhead console from $OR and wondering what is a nice overhead light I can mount to underside of it? Any good small LED or advice on a good small one that has dual lights with switches?

Thanks

Tap light??

I was thinking about those battery-operated tap lights but i think they are too big for your need.

I am sure there is a LED equivalent out there that is not the size of a frisbee.

Like this rocker switch light?

Bsevans,

I like the clean look of your overhead - how do your sun visors fold down? it looks like they are folded up behind the front of the console.

I've got one of these. They rock for super cheap. It's about 3" round.

I used a LED license plate light. I bought mine from Super Bright LEDs – LED Lights, Bulbs, and Accessories. This is what I bought, works pretty good. I mounted mine to the windshield frame above the rearview mirror so that I could still have a dome light when my top is off.

The little spot lights are pretty awesome. Plenty bright, but not blinding. And the red light part of them looks to be pretty sweet if you needed to drive at night and your dash lights went out or something.

Dan,
Those cockpit lights made out of aluminum are the shiznit I just started thinking about this issue and the fact that you can get them switchable, in black or brushed aluminum adjustable aimable mounts and the just too dang cool factor, can go either white or red led so as not to blow night vision....Goldang this is the winner for me. Thanks.
