Default Led map lights.

Added some push LED lights. Added these for when you need a little bit of light that the roll bar light puts out. Plus a "vanity light" for the mirror for my wife.

Where'd you get those lights at?

Seems like they would be great for my gun safe too.

Hey semper fi devil dog. Navy corpsman here. I actually got them at ikea. They were $6 for the set. I think I'm gonna go get more for the back. But I've seen them other places like autozone and stuff like that.

I just installed the same lights this evening from ikea. 2 in the front, 2 in the rear. The color matches the other LEDs I have installed and the light output is pretty good considering they're just from ikea. Lol. Also the double sided tape seems pretty strong. Ripped the paint right off the ceiling in the house when I tried to move it. Thanks for the awesome cheap idea.

What type of adhesive did you use?

I've used two different types and in the heat if summer, nothing will stay adhered to those panels, :( for me anyway... so be careful they don't just randomly fall on your head.
