they also had the exact same ones that came in the boat but were currently out of the red ones, they have a few different colors in house, blue, green, red, white, pink, and some color changing ones too.



Walter,
Did you change out the factory lights or leave them white?
Looks like in your pics you still have some white ones...?
If you did change out did you use the tape over the light like mentioned in another thread or did you change out with replacements from Auto Zone?

About to do this project.
Thanks

All of the small round LEDs are the factory ones, under the seats were red and In the glove box and ski lockers and by the speakers they were white

picked these up at Advance auto, have all different lengths, and they have double sided tape already installed and they can be cut to length, I used the 36" strips on each side, they were about 35$ a piece, the individual led's are 10$ for a pack of four and they fit perfect in the drain holes for the cup holders


The cup holder lights can be found at Advance Auto Parts per Walters post.
However, the red ones have been discontinued. They still carry the white and blue for now. If you want the red ones you can call and have them look for part number 78212, If they don't have them they should be able to locate stores around the area that may have some left. FYI, if they happen to have any in stock, tell them to look on the discontinued rack to find them. Original price around $10. now on clearance for about $2.65.
If you happen to call and they come up with some weird part for that number like a gear or fan belt you have to tell them to "Hit F5" and look at "price look up" them type in the number. I know this after talking to about 15 stores, some of which could find it and some that had no idea what I was talking about. If you are interested in doing this you may want to call. I couldn't even find them listed on the manufactures website.
I finally found enough.

I have since changed these bulb type LED's under the seats for strip LED's, and they are so much better now, next step hopefully some behind the speaker grills!
