Default Red bulbs

I went to Napa yesterday in search of some red light bulbs to replace my floor lights, trunk light, and license plate light (and possibly my dome light, reading lights, and glove box light...I haven't decided if I want EVERYTHING red yet), and they didn't have any. I ended up wasting 5 bucks on some translucent red tape that is used topatch tail light lenses, and I put some on my floot light bulbs and trunk bulb. The light is red, but its significantly dimmer. I'm not satisfied; I want them to be as bright as thestock ones, if not brighter. So is there any place online where I can order all these bulbs?

I did the same bulb replacement in my previous car.
I too didn't like how dim the trunk was with the red bulb, so I just decided to take the hit and leave the white one in.

A few people here have converted their interior lighting to LED's. I remember seeing some pics here a while back, and the under dash LED kits were really bright. But required a bit of wiring up.

I just went to the local Canadian Tire (here, but it's just a store that has auto parts and other stuff in it) and picked up the bulbs needed, they had red and blue, I did mine in red and also added to other red lights under my feet and passengers feet because the red light is dimmer(obviously), but now it's lighted very well

My local Napa store does not have them and neither do any of the auto part stores in surrounding towns. So it looks like I need to order them online. Does anyone know an online store where I can order all these bulbs in bright red?

Instead of changing the little bulbs add more. Very Easy
