    Dunno mate but maybe you could make your own? I know you can buy glass paint from craft shops like Spotlight/Lincraft etc. that you can paint clear glass with. Try pulling the bulb out and splashing a bit of paint on! It's transparent so the light will still shine through.

    the ones you've seen have probably just been in car neons or LED's...pretty simple to install either.

    Mate I will answer your question.

    Go to ebay and get a clear interior light lens to start with. I couldnt find any on there when I did a search just then but I bought mine off there a little while ago. Its frosty clear and looks heaps better. The colour is just from the leds. You can get these off ebay as well. Go with one that has about 8 leds or more in it. The more leds there are the brighter the light will be. I had blue for a while but I found being blue it was hard to see properly at night. I got a bright white and it is awsome.

    Leds with clear lens cover is definatly the go.

    An easy and cheap solution. Go to you local newsagency and buy some blue cellophane. Line the inside of the light cover with it and put back on. I did it and it lasted for years! If it's not blue enough just double it up and make it the right shade of blue to suit. Maybe even try green?

    I would be careful with cellophane. Good idea but some lights get left on for a while and get hot. I dont know what cellophane does with heat but you wouldnt want your roof catching fire for a 30 cent mod.

    Nah, it's all good. Over the space of two years it was the same piece of cellophane. The worst thing that happens is that the hottest part gradually becomes clearer over time. Just replace the cellophane once every two years. If you're still unsure what it will do, get a piece, go outside and stick a match under it. Be your own mythbuster

    Have been trying to find that out myself, seems to be the dimmer switch for the dash lights, push it up a second time and the interior light comes on
