Default LEDs for interior rear reading lights

Im not sure how to ask this but most of you seem to understand dodads and thing-a-ma-gigs..... I was wondering if anyone made an LED bulb in BLUE for the rear interior lights? The ones by the grab handles in the back seat.....

Those bulbs are called festoon bulbs. Check this site: http://www.superbrightleds.com/1157.htm

There are many out there that could work.

Another one that has the bulbs classified as dome light bulbs: http://www.lightlens.com/ledbulbs.htm

39mm Fuse Style LEDs are like $3 at www.42draftdesigns.com, they make a kit for the MkIV Golf that has some wedge bulbs we can't use but the other ones plug right into the lamps. I've put blue ones in mine, in europe I hear some come with red factory. I may put blue in the trunk and glovebox and replace my mirror/rear maps with red.
