Map/Courtesy Light

[ifishcat]

(If this has already been discussed, point me to the thread please)

So last weekend I'm driving in the dark (keep the jokes to yourself please) and my co-pilot was attempting to read a map. Has anyone tryed to read at night using the dome light(?), it just aint bright, nor direct enough!

I'm looking for an enhancing replacement and/or additional light that might allow at the very least, the co-pilot to read while the stars are out :blink:

any suggestions (besides a flashlight)?

How about the Gentex "Map Lamp Mirror" found here (about halfway down the page): Gentex Corporation :: Automotive :: PLO :: Interior Mirrors

I'm thinking about replacing my bulb with an brighter LED one, anyone do this yet?

Cube has this sweet little LED flashlight that charges in his 12v power plug. Nifty little thing!!

I found a link for one... probably cheaper on Ebay.

Do an internet search under "car map light", and you will find several whip antenna style map lights available that will plug into a 12V outlet. Hella makes a few different styles. When not in use, you could toss in the glove box.

Yes: a torch that goes into the 12V/cigarrette lighter. Here is my related post here at smartcarofamerica.com:
