I need to add map lights for my stepson when he wants to read when traveling or driving at night. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I get a headache everytime i read in the car. Maybe you can get one of those clip lights, I used to have one as a kid, which was not too long ago.

As stated before.. no we don't but I bet you could go to a pull yard and get some off of a 86-90 Acura Legend. Wire it to your dash board lights and it having its own light switch.. good luck.

Is the center dome light on the roof not bright enougH? Well, you can always get those clip lights like JsL suggested, and most do last long actually. You won't have a problem w/ that kinda stuff. Good Luck

It's not a good idea to drive with dome lights because they reduce your vision at night. Map lights are the way to go.



Thanks Albert.

Mazda Millenia's also come with them, located about 3/4 the way up the rear pillars.

Go to this site:
http://www.eautoworks.com/html/aac-A...-none-none.cfm

they sell map lights, but I think the prices there are somewhat high. I couldnt remember the websites which offer cheaper prices, this was the only one that came to my mind. But, check out the site, get an idea of whats available, and then venture into your local Chinatown or hunt down some other sites selling these things for cheaper. Since your car probably doesnt have a rear cigarette lighter, you could get one of those 3-way cig. lighter adapters from RadioShack or something, some of them have long wires that can extend to the back seat where the child can plug in the light. Good luck.
