I also used a double tube fluoro from Repco... very bright, more light than you could need for the back.
I fixed it to the rollover bar, and hard wired it, with a switch.

Narva part # 87340
Fitted straight up where the standard one went with a couple of holes drilled though the plastic base using the standard one as a template.
Also hooks up to the wiring same as a standard one so you can have on/off/door using the switch on it.

In my Sierra I used a brake light. The red light doesn't effect your night vision yet is light enough to read maps etc.

mate heres an idea

jaycar has kits for festoon lights (interior), you still youse the same light fitting dont have to drill anything

you just use the metal end caps off your old lights and solderin the leds and a resitor and presto

awesome led light,,ive got some in the paj

http://www.4wdmonthly.com.au/forum/show ... 523&page=5

ill be putting up pics later tonight,


ps you can also get premade ones from jaycar for a bit more $, if ya not that handy with a solder

Yep thats what I did.
Got the 31mm festoon LED lamps from Jaycar for the Paj.
They fit in the existing lights I had to bend the holders slightly for them to fit but no probs.
The Paj has 3 (2 front & 1 rear) and the interior is bright as now (white light).
The LED globes were about $15Ea from memory.
