I've been searching around on Google and found out that these are called map lights, that plug into the cigarette lighter outlet, but the most number of LED's I've seen in one is 6 and I'm not sure that would be anywhere near as bright as an incandescent bulb for reading and writing in the car at night.
But of course LED's have the advantage of not burning out the filament from cold or vibration.
Have any of you found them with more than 6 LED's or perhaps with the high powered LED's in them?
